CIOs are being urged to consider information at the heart of their corporate
strategies. The Information Management Report 2008, found that poor information management was leading to bad decision making,
fragmented views of the truth and information islands, with 63% of respondents
saying they made critical business decisions without the correct informaiono on
a daily basis.
Ramesh states, “Leaders need to exhibit the behaviour first. It is up to CIOs
to create an information culture, information increases in values the more it
is used. We now have a lot of packaged technlogy, which is often an industry standard
package, but it doesn’t offer value to an organisation if everyone uses the same
package,”
“There has been too much focus on implementation, not on what will they do with the information.” Ramesh concluded.
