Information is seriously undervalued and underused as a corporate resource.

This book is a fundamental guide for unleashing information potential, by combining the discipline of information architecture with the power of knowledge management, to drive organizational changes. Instead of unlocking the potential of information, people are drowning in detail. Current books only approach this subject from an information technology perspective. This book combines techniques from knowledge management and information architecture to provide a layer above the detail - techniques for seeing the big picture.
How control over information creation, processing, flows, and use has become the most effective form of power: theoretical foundations and empirical examples of information policy in the U.S., an innovator informational state.

It cuts through the complexity of designing at an enterprise level to achieve consistency in the way an enterprise looks, behaves, and communicates with the help of business technology. The goal of this approach is to create an overarching design adapted for the various people and use contexts, ultimately leading to better individual experiences at each relevant touch point. The approach enables organizations to hide technical systems behind their purpose, making them less visible yet much more useful for people and business contexts they are designed for. The book is broken into three main parts. In the first part, Enterprise Design is explored and defined. In the second part, a conceptual design framework is laid out, and in the final part, details and methods of putting the framework into action are covered. Using this approach, businesses can make better design decisions, which result in an integrated system that provides relevant touch points for those interacting with them.
