Our whole world – including organisations – run on resources
Four tangible resources: · Money · People · Materials · Technology
And one intangible resource · Information Information is critical for · Decision making · Learning
Without good quality information • bad decisions are made • learning does not occur
Why is information important…
www.iicd.org
…Why is information important?
How does information poverty affect TVET? – Directors fail to make decisions/make the wrong decisions – Directors fail to learn or learn the wrong things – Directors waste money, waste time, lose out on income
and, often, go out of business.
Result if directors can access better quality information; information that is more CARTA:
– more complete and/or – more accurate and/or – more relevant and/or – more timely and/or – more appropriately presented?
=>Then costs can go down and the output is better.
