People Skills are Important in an Organization

Question: Based upon the slide in the first weeks lecture that shows the Shaping of Information Governance there is a Venn diagram that shows where people skills, business processes, application and information holdings all come together in the middle with a level of information stability. Choose any one of the four aspects of the Venn diagram and make an assumption that it is either not present in the internal environment or it is damaged in some way. How would that affect the information sustainability of the organisation? What would that do to the information governance of the organisation? Make a forecast of what could occur to the organisation. Answer: If people skills are not present or inadequate in some way, then there is going to be lack of direction to deliver results and hence achieve growth and success. People Skills strengthens value across the organizations (Mehta, 2015).If people are unskilled or are incapable to provide the requisite information to solve the problems associated with people, then organizations cant proceed further to achieve their intended goals. If people skills are inadequate, then the organization would have to spend time and efforts in training people to get desired leadership skills for the organization (Freifeld, 2013). In other words, it means that organizations would have to build their human resources to strengthen information exchange across different departments and strengthen the governance.
