Abstract

This article introduces a new way to think about managing information. This approach, known as
“activity value management,” focuses on improvement methods and uses a coordinated approach to
integrating information. This is necessary because improvement initiatives are often suboptimized simply because
of a lack of coordination. When—as frequently happens—these programs are sponsored by various
organizational silos, they often have to compete for resources, funding, management support, and commitment.
Because no overarching structure exists to link the outcomes of these various improvement efforts, the overall
strategic vision of the enterprise often goes unmet. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
