How does Information become valuable in terms of improving processes?
Information: Improve Processes • Data • What questions need to be answered? • Which processes are important? • How can processes become more efficient? • What data is available to help do that? • How do we obtain that data? • How will that data fit into our system? • Do we need a new system component? • Who will use data? How? To what end?
Information: Improve Processes • How information is defined and managedcan add value to organizations: • Data • Information • Knowledge/Learning • Wisdom
How will we know that data is being used effectively within our system? Be able to answer ‘So What?’
Can we build a metric to measure that? If yes, is there just one? Who is going to build it? What does it look like? Where is that metric going to live? How often will it run?
Can we build a metric to measure that? What will each metric reveal? What is our response? What is NEXT response if first does not work?
Information: Improve Processes • Metrics provide ‘information on information’ • How effective is the information? • Do we have gaps? • WHERE do we have gaps? • Data • Information • Knowledge/Learning • Wisdom:
Information: Improve Processes • Wisdom: ‘Metrics on Metrics’ • ‘How effective is the knowledge/learning?’
