The New IP: Information Productivity | Thin Difference | Leading Choices | Scoop.it

Information Productivity means we need to absorb a lot of information and then convert it into actionable steps. This is leading in an information access age.

 

The Model Steps

 

Absorb. We absorb information we read, hear, and view. As we take it in, our mind picks the data up and begins a thought process.

 

Convert. Converting information into actions is a critical step. While some information may be just for our consideration, some will require a plan.

 

Act. After we have converted the information into actionable steps, we then need to, well, act! We do things with the information learned and the points outlined.

 

Learn. Through the process, we learn. We learn what works and what doesn’t. From this, we begin the cycle again.

 

Without a process, information absorption leads to unproductive use of time. We become inert.
