Never has so much information been available in so many different ways, yet all studies show that one of the main issues employees have is the lack of clear, meaningful information. As an example, one recent international survey shows that managers and employees in large organisations spend on average 25% of their time preparing, following and delivering presentations. The quality of those presentations is mostly very bad, leading to sometimes disastrous consequences (*) :
1. A huge loss of time (for a complete company, sometimes as much as 17% of the total employee time)
2. Lower decision quality and much slower implementation of projects and strategies
3. Lower employee job-satisfaction
The situation is different in all organisations, but it’s certainly worth to find out what the situation is in your organisation.
ToThePoint offers a simple and effective way to measure the quantity and quality of information and presentations in an organisation and how they might impact the bottom line.
