Shoot the Messenger: Better to leave the boss in the dark than be the bearer of bad news besides, the boss doesn’t want to know anyway.His list interestingly enough starts with:ĭysfunctional Behaviours Caused by Information Politics:
On his blog ‘how to save the world’ in 2006 he listed 25 of these behaviours. Please lead the way, mister Strassmann.ĭave Pollard regularly talks about the dysfunctional ‘information behaviours’ that impede learning and knowledge sharing. If you do not have a generally accepted understanding of relationships and do not possess the means for resolving disputes, most of energies will be diverted to internal conflicts instead of coping with external challenges. Without a general consensus about the principles and policies of who does what, when and how, you cannot create a foundation on which to construct information superiority. Strassmann defines information politics as the institutionalization of a governance process that guides how individuals and groups cooperate.
Strassmann states that politics is not only a way to exercise authority, but it is also an art for achieving corporate consensus. He places information governance or politics ahead of all other attributes of information management, because if you do not get that right everything else will not make up for this fundamental flaw. Strassmann teaches that the topic of information politics covers the goals, policies, practices and organisational ideas about how to strengthen local decisions while the entire enterprise cooperates for information superiority. Strassmann is one of the godfathers of information management and probably the capo di tutti capi of information politics.
