ADVANCED TRAINING COURSE ON
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Informed Decision Making is necessary to take an edge in the competitive arena. Decision makers and senior managers require well-organized data and information: up-to-date, complete and reliable. An adequate provision of information increases the efficiency of the organization: less time and resources are required to achieve better results, something of particular importance in these times of recession.
In order to realize this goal, it is necessary to have a detailed insight in the processes of the organization and their data and information requirements, and strictly organize the organization’s data and information accordingly.
