Everyone is an Information Worker!

Everyone needs information, it is not just confined to working in an office!

Everyone needs to share e-mail, documents, messaging, calendaring etc ... perhaps on a BYOD mobile device where the company pays them an allowance!

What are the terrible alternatives?

• Placing printed notes on walls - wall space is precious as then you lose the opportunity to use racks, shelves etc to save floor space
• Having to waste precious table space in the kitchen or kitchen cupboards
• Having to use outside systems - SMS, facebook, etc ... eventually this reaches its limits
• Information doesn't get to the right person at the right time = reduced Productivity

Example of a Risk Matrix in action ~ Property Loss at a Workplace

Close to Liquid Assets

Examples: Coins, mobile phones, credit cards
These should never be left at a workplace and would fall in the 'Extremely Likely' category

Equipment and Inventory

Examples: Tools, stocks, etc ...
These probably need to be left at a workplace with appropriate security measures - and would fall in the 'Low to Medium' likelihood category
At least covered up out of view, inside a locked area etc ...
