Intel's War on Information Overload: A Case Study - List Price $999
This just-released 36-page report is an exclusive in-depth analysis of the efforts that Intel has undertaken over the years to combat Information Overload. Intel has been developing programs and practices to combat Information Overload for well over a decade. Knowledge workers at Intel lose ca. eight hours per week due to Information Overload which, for a company Intel's size, would result in a cost of over $1 billion per year. Basex was provided direct access to Intel personnel and exclusive access to surveys and reports conducted before, during, and after each program aimed at solving the problem including Quiet Time, No E-Mail Day, and E-mail Service Level Agreement.

In this groundbreaking report, Basex examines such critical issues as:
- What does Information Overload really cost?
- Can you change people’s expectations about email reply times?
- Are mandated no e-mail days a good idea?
- How do you give knowledge workers more time for thought and reflection?
- What effect does one’s role have on the effectiveness of Information Overload reduction programs?

The report explores the sources of information and interruptions that the knowledge worker encounters on a daily basis, and provides an in-depth analysis of the efforts that Intel has undertaken to confront the resulting Information Overload and lost productivity.
