There is a beauty in simplicity. There is clarity, focus and hidden behind it, a lot of deep thinking. There is also respect and a lot of consideration.

Simplicity does not mean over-simplification! Equally completion does not mean complexity. We tend to believe that if something has everything, then it surely is complete. How wrong we are.

Our information eco-system rules are a lot more similar to our natural eco-system than we realise!

Business information assets are keystone species in our business ecosystem. They might be intangible assets but they are very real and can make or break our success.

Can we avoid digitised bureaucracy?

We are slowly moving away from the chaos of the desktop to more focused and integrated ways of working. But which approach is really fit for purpose?

The simplest of problems…Perhaps it is my scientific training and background but I 'hate' simple problems. Don't get me wrong, I am not referring to easy problems. I am referring to those problems that are fundamental and simple because you cannot break them to any further constituent parts. So, you are stuck! Either you can find a solution or you cannot. Ditto with Information Management. We broke down the problem to storing data, retrieving data, searching, creating specialised environments (the CRMs and CMSs...) and displaying all this is in a spectacular manner on very colourful and detailed screens. Have we solved the fundamental problem? Can we claim that we can use and manage our Information Assets?
