How an organisation could improve the quality of its business information
Valid:
Having valid information can improve the quality of the information hugely. To make sure that
information is valid, is when it’s collected compare it to other sources of information to ensure that
it’s correct and reliable before it’s used.
Type of Data/Information:
To have the right type of data, a company has to choose whether qualitative or quantitative
information is better. They then have to choose whether to get the information from a primary or
secondary resource. When choosing the right type of information it’s important because it improves
the quality of the information because of the data being more valid and reliable. Especially if it’s
from a primary source.
Purpose:
For Information to be considered quality information it needs to be specific to its purpose. Having a
purpose for the information that’s being collected allows for the business or organisation to make
sure that the information is fit for the purpose that they want it for and that it also make sure that is
from a valid source. Having the purpose of the information that they want it allows the business or
organisation to choose what method and what type of data would be easiest to get information of a
high quality.
Source:
Making the choice of where the information is going to be coming from is another way to improve
the quality of information. If the business or organisation collects information from a primary source
it often makes the data more reliable and valid which makes the information quality information.
Primary sources are business or organisations functional areas and any research carried out by them.
Quality information can also come from secondary sources, however a company has to be careful
when using this type of source. Then they use this source for information they have to make sure it
is comes from a reliable and valid source that’s up-to-date.
Improving the Flow of Information:
The flow of information can also improve on the quality of information. Improving the flow of
information within a company or organisation can be simple and there are several ways that it can
be done. In companies or organisations each team will be working in different areas or the company
or organisation and working on different parts. So passing information on needs to be exact to that
team. Because each team would be working in different parts the information that they require will
be different, this will have an impact on what type of communication they should use for passing the
information on. When the company/ organisation has got a recognised method of communication
between each team, it’s then down to the sender of the information to make sure that the
information is specific to that recipients purpose. This can be done by the sender removing all the
unnecessary information that won’t benefit the recipient. Doing this will improve on the flow of
information because it will be direct and useful for the recipients.
