Radical Transparency
Equip Team Members with Real-Time Information and Data for Better Speed and Accuracy of Decision Making
In the past, information was the currency of power: hard to come by and hard to spread. In the industrial-era environment, organizations guarded this scarce information carefully, and leveraged their information as a competitive advantage.
Today, we have access to so much information that it’s become impossible to predict which information might be useful, or who might use that information in a productive way. In this world of abundant information and connectedness the potential benefits of trusting people who share the organization’s purpose to act on information as they see fit often outweighs the potential risks of open information being used in counter-productive ways. Next-stage organizations make data available in real-time, and provide people with the right information at the right moment in order to increase decision making speed and accuracy. And they’re not shy about leveraging the power of technology.
