(Alpharetta, GA – March 24, 2009) Forty years ago (in 1969), Peter Drucker foretold that the “great management task” of the 21st Century would be to make knowledge work productively. In 1970, Alvin Toffler coined the term Future Shock to describe the “massive adaptational breakdown” that would come from how the things we think we “know” will change at exponential rates. Can we say, then, that in 2009 too much information or “tmi” is more than just a pop-culture catch phrase? Has your company arrived at the point of organizational malady because of tmi? Do we have a pandemic on our hands?

While researchers define and study the effects of “information overload” and it’s problematic offspring “analysis paralysis”, today’s average manager wrestles with receiving over 100 emails a day. Employees spend approximately 25% (107 minutes) of their workday reading, reviewing, and responding to emails. The bottom line is that today’s workforce spends much of their day processing instead of producing. Is there any way to get a handle on tmi?

Yes!
