Today we’re going to be talking about information overload. How do we prevent information overload for business decision makers and how do we overcome those problems when they do occur? To answer this, Nana is joined on Build Value By Choice by Jonathan McPike, co-founder of Haven, a one-stop-shop app for small businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the foundation of their communities. When a small business fails, the ripple effects hurt a lot of people. Haven is about supporting the small businesses that support all of us.
Software is designed with large organizations in mind, and that creates a lot of headaches for small businesses. Co-Founders Luke Mongin and Jonathan McPike believed that small businesses deserved tools that were right-sized for them.
Whatever information we need, we can get. But we forget that not all information is equally as important. So when we’re looking at information to make decisions, we’re often overloaded with information. Instead we need the relevant information available in one simple easy to use place.
By enabling systems to communicate and share information, businesses can eliminate manual tasks and allow data that would need to be manually input several times to be shared between systems.

BEST MOMENTS
‘A lot of times if you’re a small business, you might be using software designed for larger companies’
‘You need tools that are the right size for the job’
‘You want all those core tools in one place and you want them speaking to each other’
‘Most normal users will say this is too complicated and hard to use’
