3. Is the World Dumping
Data on You?
It is indeed great to live in the information age
with a plethora or large amount of digital
technologies at your fingertips giving you
access almost instantly to
massive amounts of information.
4. Here are some revelations on an
accenture study of 1,009 managers at
U.S. and U.K. Companies which are
contradictory to the notion of being an
information-literate knowledge worker:

Only 16 percent state

so that the end-users of

database

10. Why is it important?
If you don’t understand the competitive
nature of your industry, you can’t
determine business strategies that ensure
success. If you don’t then identify the
most important business processes to
support those business strategies, you will
undoubted
implement
the
wrong
technologies and doom your organization
to failure.
11. What it describes
First, you need to understand the industry
in which your business operates
(internal-objective) and the competitive
forces affecting that industry(external
and objective information). Decisions
regarding business strategies, business
processes, and finally, technology
(internal-objective information) follow.
12. Is withholding information unethical?
This behavior is not just annoying and
counter-productive, it’s also unethical.
By withholding information needed for the
success of a project, a leader is working
against the goals of the organization,
against the goals of the project, against
the success of employees, against the
success of colleagues and against a
successful customer experience.
13. When is it ethical?
Not everything is to be made in public.
It is private and confidential if it is an
information relating to an employee's
personal characteristics or family matters.
Information relating to an employee should be
released only on a need-to-know basis, or if
a law or court requires the release of the
information.
All information requests concerning
employees should go through a central
information release office within your
organization.
14. What can organizations do to encourage their
employees to share information?
Offer employee workshops. The manager
can lead the first session, just to make sure
everyone is on the same page. Explain the
purpose, and ask for suggestions. Make sure
employees understand that the goal is to
help them work more effectively, not to
highlight their deficiencies. Also, include a
discussion on what the company is trying to
do, how it’s doing, where it’s headed and
what it stands for.
15. What can organizations do to encourage their
employees to share information?
• Plan
accordingly. Workshops can be
scheduled at a
regular time or as needed.
If you can afford to provide
lunch, try a
noon-time group. Food is a great
ice-breaker. Keep the meetings to a
reasonable length.
• Recruit your top performers to share their
expertise. It’s not hard to identify who excels
at customer service or managing data or sales.
16. What can organizations do to encourage their
employees to share information?
• Encourage team-teaching. People
from
different departments need to collaborate on
projects, so it makes sense to have those
teams explain how they’ve been successful
working together.
• Aim for quality. Make sure the presentations
contain useful information and that the
presenter is prepared. Be specific about the
kind of information you want when you ask an
employee to lead a workshop.
17. What can organizations do to encourage their
employees to share information?
• Provide
incentives. In a climate of tight
budgets, reduced work forces and stiff
competition, internal training can be a great
substitute for costly offsite workshops. Reward
presenters, perhaps with extra pay or comp
time.
• Say thank you — not just to the
presenters, but also to those who
attend.Employees need to know their efforts
are appreciated.
