adminKeeping up with the deluge of information that is coming at you every day – from email, news feeds and online…even low tech mail, newspapers, periodicals, radio and TV – is becoming daunting. Wherever you are it never ends. Streaming 24/7.
The periodical The Economist perfectly summarizes our present situation in its February 27, 2010 issue editorial page, “The data deluge:”
“Everywhere you look, the quantity of information in the world is soaring. According to one estimate, mankind created 150 exabytes (billion gigabytes) of data in 2005. This year, it will create 1,200 exabytes. Merely keeping up with this flood, and storing the bits that might be useful, is difficult enough. Analyzing it, to spot patterns and extract useful information, is harder still. Even so, the data deluge is already starting to transform business, government, science and everyday life…It has great potential for good – as long as consumers, companies and governments make the right choices…“
That is what MedIntelliBlog is about – helping you learn how to make the right choices, intelligent choices, when managing information in your daily business lives.
The editors at The Economist go on to say that, “Plucking the diamond from the waste,” has been mastered by a mere handful of industries – credit card companies, insurance firms, mobile phone operators, and retailers – and, of course, government agencies.*
You as executives of the life sciences industry need to embrace doing the same. You need to master the deluge of information, culling it to get the precise intelligence that you need.
The editors at MedIntelliBase have conceived this blogspace, at Blog.MedIntelliBase.com, to:
- give you insights on how to remain focused on getting the precise intelligence you need
- prevent you and your organization from becoming overwhelmed by information overload
- most importantly, prevent you from missing critical nuggets of intelligence that will help you make the right business decision…the first time…and every time
Each week MedIntelliBlog editors will post proven solutions to the information deluge and offer quick tips to selecting intelligent management tools. To read more in the coming weeks join our subscriber list.
We look forward to helping you master your market, business and competitor intelligence.
