Active Information: Balancing Speed, Accuracy, Attention & Context

June 28, 2011 By brenda michelson

I’ve been on a bit of a speed, accuracy and decisioning theme over at my Active Information blog on HP Input Output.

In last week’s post, I called out an MIT Sloan Review interview that advocated data delivery speed (fast data) over data accuracy in the context of better decision-making.  I agree, on the surface it appears counterintuitive.

This week, I called out a related MIT Sloan Review article that added the dimensions of attention span and context to the speed versus accuracy equation.

A one-line snippet in this second article inspired a little late night, design as you type, session for me.  [Life on the road]

Anyway, check out both posts, including my “works on a whiteboard” design-stream-of-consciousness.  Then, consider how you might add “a time-table for each piece of information.”

    Setting direction is easy. Executing transformation is hard.

    “A massive task and challenge awaited Mr. Kundra as he sought to change the direction of the government’s $80 billion annual Information Technology budget. In December 2010 the changes in direction were outlined in his 25 point plan to reform government IT.

    Reports of his success levels vary, but no doubt Kundra stirred the pot and set a direction. Changing the direction of anything at the Federal government is not for the faint or impatient heart.”

Active Information: Data-Driven Business Innovation

June 14, 2011 By brenda michelson

My post this week on HP Input Output is Data-Driven Business Innovation: That’s Progressive.  The post highlights a cool use of data collection and analysis by Progressive Insurance.

I say “cool” confidently, because when I recounted the scenario to my friend Sandy Kemsley this morning, she said “that is cool”.

Check it out.
