Better information sharing improves organizational performance (and save oil)

I often evoke organisational performance issues to conclude that rethinking the way information circulates within companies an making it possible for people to build their own information supply chain is key.

Experiences teaches us it’s really works and provide tangible benefits. It’s what Wallem, a shipping company, did, relying on RSS (you know, this technology many companies don’t want to use and most IT dept are fighting against…) and saved 8% (ie $400M).

Let me mak clear that it’s not about using less fuel for ships, it’s not about oil management, it’s about organization and information management, not providing people not the information we think they need but making it possible for them to easily find the information they need and nothing more, in order to do tjeir job and make better decisions.
