By now it is clear that no one can provide the information that knowledge workers and especially executives need, except knowledge workers and executives themselves. But few executives so far have made much of an effort to decide what they need, and even less, how to organize it. They have tended to rely on the producers of data——IT people and accountants——to make these decisions for them. But the prodecers of data cannot possibly know what data the users need so that they become information. Only individual knowledge workers, and especially individual executives, can convert data into information. And only individual knowledge workers, and especially individual executives, can decide how to organize their information so that it becomes their key to effective action.——《Management Challenges for the 21st Century》Chapter 4.
