Purpose

A key to success in managing information is to be able to recognise what is information for you or your team or organisation. This activity will help you to get a clear grasp of what information is and is not.

Benefits

Too often we are provided with huge amounts of what we are told is information. But it is not; it is worthless data. You will begin to learn how to be rigorous in defining information so that you only get what is of use to you.
