About this episode

"How does information overload impact you?" That's the question Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a knowledge economy research firm, asked senior executives at companies including IBM, NBC, Research in Motion, and Siemens, among others. The answers may surprise you.Information overload describes an excess of information that results in the loss of ability to make decisions, process information, and prioritize tasks. Basex produced Information Overload - The Movie to demonstrate the impact that the problem has on knowledge workers of all levels. From top managers to administrative assistants, information overload has a detrimental effect on our ability to perform at our best, leading to poor decision-making, slow project completion and stifled idea generation.
