I have come along way and survived several Fridays to get to my fifth assessment.  These questions are about the importance of storing and recording data.  This really made me think about the actual amount of data that is recorded and stored throughout the corporate world.  Then made me think about the amount of data held within our personal recording systems, be it paper files or electronically.  It's enormous, it's an outstanding amount of information.  I am only just starting to appreciate it's value and how it can improve my own financial spending and management of my income.  As far as corporate data is concerned, I am realising the impact it has in a 'convincing' business case.  This is probably all old news to a lot of people and it is just refreshing for me in identifying where I had been going wrong in trying to implement changes to help enhance L&D services.  Hmmm time for some digging and finding data ...!
