ABSTRACT

Information feeds many kinds of management thinking activities – notably decision-making, problemsolving, planning, predicting, quantifying, evaluating generating and evaluating new ideas. You also need it in order to monitor progress, to keep yourself and your team up to date and to make reports, written or verbal, to those who are entitled to know what you are doing with your time or their money. Often there is too much of it. How do you get the minimum you need, in the form you need it?
