  3. Praxisbuch Informationsmanagement
    Praxisbuch Informationsmanagement
    Wissen im Unternehmen teilen. Guter Umgang mit Dokumenten, E-Mails, Aufgaben und Meetings
    Wolf Steinbrecher and Jan Fischbach

    Wir haben nicht zu wenige, sondern zu viele Informationen. Das ist das Neue unseres Zeitalters. Modernes Informationsmanagement hat deshalb als erste Herausforderung: Wie organisieren wir das Vergessen? Server und E-Mail-Fächer quellen über, ToDo-Listen werden immer länger. Eine strukturierte Vorgehensweise, mit diesem Problem umzugehen, gibt es bislang nicht. Die 2. Herausforderung für den Umgang mit Informationen: Wie schaffen wir den Übergang von einer Einzelkämpferkultur zu einer Kooperationskultur? Wer Informationen braucht, hat oft keinen Zugriff darauf. Auch im 21. Jahrhundert organisieren wir die Verwaltung von Dokumenten und Aufgaben oft noch in abgeschotteten Silos. Ein hoher unproduktiver Synchronisationsaufwand in Form interner E-Mails, Telefonaten und Sitzungen ist die Folge. Das Buch schlägt den Übergang zu einem Denken in Vorgängen vor. Daraus ergeben sich Lösungen für beide Fragestellungen. Denn Kern der Wertschöpfung und Weiterentwicklung eines Unternehmens ist das Abschließen von Vorgängen. Organisiert man die Verwaltung von Dokumenten und E-Mails nach dieser Logik, kann man den Zugriff der Teams auf ihre Vorgänge einfach organisieren. Und auch das Aussondern nicht mehr benötigter Dokumente macht keine Umstände mehr.
