Information is an important strategic asset for the government — as
important as people, capital and technology. Like other corporate assets, information
must be managed.
While most organizations have human resource and financial strategies, few
have a strategy for managing their information resources. For example, “50% of
UK managers and 60% of US managers said their companies had no plans to implement
an information management policy.” 1
This lack of an information strategy results in wasted time, increased frustration,
lower productivity, and increased costs.
