| Description: |
Rapid technological development is a hallmark of modern life. Innovation has come in the form of more information at higher rates, of different forms, at shorter delays and from a wider range of resources. Those working with these innovations have had to adjust as best they can to many of the new demands. The emerging problem is one of information management. Now the forces of a competitive environment are forcing us to do something about it. The development of virtual information-action workspaces offers one opportunity to do things differently. The goal is to organize our information so that we can act on it effectively. That requires an understanding of the information each and everyone of us needs to do our job, the desirable form, level of abstraction and organization of that information, and the action modes that are needed to respond to it. Diverse analytic and design tools to accomplish these goals are available within the behavioural sciences. The development of a virtual information-action workspace requires a coordinated effort to apply those tools in a systematic manner. The virtual information-action workspace offers a solution to a problem that will only become more severe unless we resolve it. |
