With the exponential growth of critical information needed to manage businesses today, a key challenge for most employees is managing time spent on sifting through these sources of information to determine what is relevant and important to their actual work. As this information flow increases, both inside and outside the enterprise, the challenge becomes not just overwhelming to the individual worker, but extraordinarily costly to the company.
IDT Research estimates that by 2011, Fortune 500 companies will be operating at a $31.5 billion knowledge deficit due to the costs and inefficiencies that result from intellectual re-work, substandard performance, and inability to find knowledge resources (information and experts). This translates to a cost of $5,950 per knowledge worker.
