CIO: Give it a Break
CIO: Give it a BreakCompanies and organizations that utilize Knowledge Management... collect tons of data, review it, process it, disseminate it, all in the name of making smarter decisions about products, customers and markets. What companies don't want to do is slow to a trickle the amount of information they take in. Indeed, with all the technologies now available to collect and massage data, the emphasis among many KM circles is to cast as wide a corporate information net as possible. The more information, the argument goes, the better the knowledge... That's the conventional wisdom. But my self-imposed exile from data deluge suggests to me that turning down the siphon every once in a while will not result in a drought of knowledge. On the contrary, reduce the noise level, and the result is a better ear for what matters and what's important.
