The company president has noted a constant increase in the number of reports passed on to her, many of them coming through the mail, some through the company’s intranet.

It has clearly become difficult for her to keep track of all projects due to information overload. However, she does not want to abandon her personal objective of being constantly informed, and she does not want to query her vice presidents for summaries of major developments.

What are the alternatives available to the company president?
