Power Potential of Information

POWER!  Isn't that essentially what organizations and individuals seek in order to achieve increasing success?  The power to do more with less, the power to earn more business in a competitive market. Organizations and individuals utilize resources (assets) while implementing various means of  harnessing or generating power with those resources. For example, people are frequently called the number 1 resource of organizations and they are  often required to complete training courses. Training is a means of increasing the capability of individuals in order to apply that capability toward the achievement of some specific end. If individuals in an organization are considered as components of a machine, the energy they are able to exert over time (enhanced by training) contributes to the overall power output of the machine. Information is another resource and the degree to which it's capabilities are enhanced and harnessed is directly correlated to the amount of power output from the information. 

Now let's look a little deeper.  Training a person is orienting and organizing a person's natural capabilities in a specific direction.  Information is "trained" when it is correlated with all information in the domain and thus transformed into knowledge, which is the power-producing form of information.
