Information used in decisions must be fit for the specific decision being made. This means it must be relevant and of a sufficient quality for the decision at hand. It also needs to be presented in a way that decision makers will understand, taking account of their personal preferences, skills and available time. Relevance, quality and presentation (RQP) are key characteristics for useful information.’RelevantDifferent decisions require different information, and judging what information is relevant for a decision is not easy. ..Performance indicators alone will not be adequate for important decisions. ..Aggregating information (for example over geography or time), using a range of information from different sources, and sharing information, will generate a fuller picture. Quality ..Data should be captured once and used numerous times. ..Data should be sufficiently accurate for the intended purpose. Highly accurate data are often neither cost-effective nor possible for many decisions. ..Decision makers need to judge how quickly and frequently they need information. Some information may need to be updated and available immediately, in real-time, but for many political, financial and strategic issues, understanding trends over time is more important than immediacy. Presentation ..Relevant, good quality, information will not help decision makers if they cannot understand it. ..How information is presented, and what story it helps to tell, can affect the decisions based upon it. ..The way information is presented, therefore, needs to be tailored for both the audience and the decision at hand
