<p>Are you&#8230;.</p>
<ul>
<li>An Information Worker (spend a lot of your working time in front of a computer)?</li>
<li>Struggling to keep up with the amount of information you&#8217;re having to deal with?</li>
<li>Finding that people either ignore or misinterpret what you mean?</li>
</ul>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it amazing that so many people today are classed as &#8220;<em>information workers</em>&#8221; yet so few of them really know <strong>what &#8220;Information&#8221; really is</strong>&#8230; or how to make it better?</p>
<p>At school, we&#8217;re taught how to read and write&#8230; but not things like how to structure an e-mail that gets results, or how to make a killer presentation.</p>
<p>In the confusion, we&#8217;re just sitting at our desks <strong>making vast quantities of bad information</strong>, creating an epidemic called &#8220;<em>Information Overload</em>.&#8221; The result is more stress, poorer decision-making&#8230; and lower productivity.</p>
<p>The good news is that the few people that do learn how to master information are the ones that are going to <strong>survive and thrive</strong> in the age of information overload.</p>
<p>While others are spending longer and longer, producing less and less, you can become more and more efficient&#8230; making better decisions, in less time. People will actually read what you write, and do what you ask.</p>
<p><strong>Infogineering</strong> is designed to help you do just that.</p>
