Managing Information Before It Manages You

Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2006
Time: 5:30-7:00
Location: Pace University
18th Floor Boardroom

Speakers: Jon Thorsen and Ilana Lester

Each of the sources of information available to us can satisfy our thirst for knowledge, but all of them can drown us in data overload. Getting our hands around information – and processing it into knowledge for our development operations – is one of the most daunting, yet crucial, challenges we face. In this session, we’ll discuss ways to direct the flow of data efficiently, with discussion of such areas as:

• Systematizing information exchange
• Implementing effective strategic planning
• Organizing workflow in an effective and transparent manner
• Managing time for results

RSVP is required to attend this program, and please bring a photo ID. You may RSVP to linda.gorney@liu.edu.
