Indatagestion can be a severe condition that affects the overall health of an organization and its employees. Typically, it’s the result of too much data flooding into an organization with no ability to process and make sense of the data. Indatagestion can cause lower profitability, asset bloat, and executives who struggle with brain fog and anxiety when faced with decisions or opportunities.
According to Bernard Marr in his Forbes article, “A company’s ability to compete will increasingly be driven by how well it can leverage data, apply analytics and implement new technologies.”
Indatagestion is widespread and felt by 80% of global workers sapping team energy, reducing revenue and draining profitability. It is treatable.
“Eight out of 10 global workers are suffering from information overload due to siloed data in too many places, along with poor data access and governance.”

- FOMO (Fear of Missing Opportunities) – Constant anxiety knowing there is opportunity in your data but you can’t access it.
