Information is like water in that it flows between people through organizations and networks to quench our thirst for knowledge and help us make decisions. Information needs to flow consistently and meet quality standards so that it can be accessed and trusted, just as water from a faucet. While information can be controlled, it is a dynamic resource that needs to flow constantly to remain fresh before it becomes outdated and needs to be replaced. Making information flow between individuals is fundamental for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
