USEFUL TOOLS - Information Distribution
Jacob Levy, M.S Consulting 4 Results Nov. 2014
Information Data that is processed to be useful; provides answers to "who", "what",
"where", and "when" questions
Knowledge
Application of data and information;
answers "how" questions
Data Raw symbols
18 Jacob Levy, M.S Consulting 4 Results Nov. 2014
Data represents a fact or statement of event without relation to other things
Ex: It is raining.
Information embodies the understanding of a relationship of some sort, possibly cause and effect.
Ex: The temperature dropped 15 degrees and then it started raining
Knowledge represents a pattern that connects and generally provides a high level of predictability as to what is described or what will happen next.
Ex: If the humidity is very high and the temperature drops substantially the atmospheres is often unlikely to be able to hold the moisture so it rains.
