Week 4.4 Flow of Information

Chapter 3 talks about the flow of information, information overload, information under load,and information quality.

I think most companies today need as much information as they can get. In today's markets, where slightest details can make a huge difference, information is very important to remain competitive. With careful planning and some amount of research and work done upfront we can save a lot of time with tasks like information processing, report generation etc.,

If we have a process that simplifies data management it becomes easy to manage and people will not end up spending lot of time on generating reports etc., that are not really very important. In our company, we designed some standard very simple to use tools that any person can use with little to no guidance using which he can generate data that he wants. To achieve this there are defined rules like all the data should follow particular format etc., and after that we just put them in the correct places and send links to management so that they can get what they want.
