Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jonathan Spira's engaging and thoroughly researched book, Overload: How Too Much Information Is Hazardous to Your Organization presents an urgent call to action to confront this ubiquitous problem. Employing case studies and storytelling linked to recent business catastrophes he brings clarity to the problems proliferated by overload as well as to their enormous hidden costs. He includes a discussion of preemptive steps that may be taken at all levels in the organization to reduce and mitigate the toxic effects of information overload. This should be required reading in MBA programs, for knowledge workers, their managers and executives. I highly recommend this book.
