Dickeson--Join the Information Age

We start with data, move to information, then to knowledge and, finally, to work. Let's change "work" to "execution," and we coin the acronym: DIKE for Data, Information, Knowledge, Execution.

Think about this for a moment. Even with all our installed computing power of the '80s and early '90s, we questioned whether computerization really had a "payback." We mostly did things we'd been doing in the same way we'd always done 'em. The spread sheet and word processing programs may have changed our lives, but we still did business as we had for years. We prepared lists in piles of sprocket-perfed printouts.
