Businesses must prioritize Information Management

In a recent article "Businesses must prioritize Information Management", PCWorld journalist Antony Savvas, cites Gartner analyst Ted Friedman on the topic of Information Managment.

The main conclusions of the article from the ACDM (Agile Case and Document Management) point of view are:

• As a CIO you must change from an Information Technology-centric view to an Information-centric view. Put the Information flow as your goal and the technology as a mean.
• Start looking at Information as an asset for you organisation. An asset you can turn into advantage and real business benefits. In some organisations the Information Paradox turns your information into a liability instead of a asset.
• Plan for "people changes" in the way everybody in the organsiation thinks about information, as this is the foundation for the next generation Information Infrastructure.

Good but difficult advices, however we do need a different approach to help knowledge workers grow their performance.
