Organizations are using data, information and knowledge as a
competitive weapon. Their data, information and knowledge are
arguably their most valuable assets. Yet, these assets are managed
badly (when compared to the other three assets, namely money,
people and infrastructure) with considerable risk to the
organization. Executives are accountable for the success of their
organizations and those who don’t manage this critical resource
and business enabler effectively, can be regarded as negligent. The
fourth asset an organization has is their information assets (their
data, information and knowledge). Information assets carry enormous
risk and value. Most boards and executives don’t know how to
manage IAs effectively and nobody is held accountable. Given this,
organizations should manage their information assets the way they
manage their Financial Assets. The benefits of managing IAs well
are compelling. These benefits include increased efficiency,
productivity, employee satisfaction, improved decision-making,
mitigating business risk and improving product, protecting
corporate reputation and service delivery. Drawing on
ground-breaking research, this book explains to executives the
fundamental barriers to effective information asset management and
how to overcome them. It aims to inform executive managers/leaders
about information asset management and governance in their
organization, ie. What it means to manage data, information and
knowledge. This book is unique in the sense that it takes a fresh
look at this topic, is based on experience and includes interviews
from over 70+ industry leaders. In short, this book is written by
executives, exclusively for executives, and explains where to
start.
