In business, we regularly face an information overload. The dogma for business documents often is “more is better” – long e-mails with huge distribution lists and a variety of attachments, presentations with lots of detailed Power Point Charts and epic Word documents. Reviewing all this and filtering out the truly important things takes valuable time, making work processes and decision making inefficient.
