The Performance Manager: Turning Information into Higher Business Performance

Tags:
knowledge and data management

Overview Research by McKinsey Quarterly confirms what most have known intuitively for some time: all jobs have become more and more information-intensive--less linear and more interactive, less rule-based and more collaborative--while at the same time employees are expected to do more in less time. While technology has helped in part, it hasn't achieved its full potential.

Read this excerpt from the business book, The Performance Manager, sponsored by Cognos, to help you turn the growing information-intensity of your job from a challenge to a competitive advantage.

The Performance Manager, Proven Strategies for Turning Information into Higher Business Performance, examines the partnership between decisionmakers and the people who provide them with information to drive better decisions. It offers suggestions for 42 decisions areas, or information sweet spots, taking into account the need to not only understand your data, but also plan and monitor your performance.
