Culture is considered to be one of the most important enablers of any organization’s success.

Taxonomy: Managing your information as a powerful asset
Every organization needs to be in the information business. Clients buy – or don’t buy – based on their experience with the information they pick up about an organization and what they do. Recognizing thee value of information assets and managing it well is critical to an organization’s success. Do you ever ask:
Do I have the right version of this document?
Is this information private or public?
Didn’t someone document that already somewhere?
How have we worked with this client in the past?\
What are the latest regulations?
Good decision making requires the right information to be available and accessible.
