Outlines the challenges facing executives in managing digital and physical information assets, in order to fulfil their responsibilities to customers, shareholders or the public. Suggests that information practitioners should develop a thorough understanding of the business imperatives within their organisations, and use applied methodologies to analyse critically business processes, methods and tools.
