So far I have described the situation in many organizations.

To a large extent the previous posts include insights into how this situation came to be, what drove its' creation, and more importantly the conditions that continue to foster its' existence.

Organizations are growing ever larger, the systems required to support this expansion become even larger. Millions of dollars are spent each year by many organizations to perpetuate this condition and manage to expand somehow.

But under it all is a growing chasm of data rich, information poor.

My organization is no different, for the most part we are DRIP, just like everyone else.

BUT.....

Within my own paticular area, we are data rich, information rich, very rich.

How did we get there? Can we maintain it?

Stay tuned.
