Project Management has developed a body of knowledge published by ISO and PMI that formalizes good management.
Information overload reduces the time available for good management.
Human biology wires all of us to respond spontaneously, for example this email is spontaneous. It's a dilemma. Project audits, also discussed on 001017, provide a chance for budgeting time and dollars to perform good management, but this is an uphill effort because people do not have the tools and skills to augment innate capabilities for dealing with information overload. Further, people lack a process for incorporating notices, like your letter today, into the work stream. We can say it a thousand ways, for example, academics discuss semiotics in relation to inference, meaning and communication.
