Gather only such vital data/information that is crucial and relevant for your plan of action. Calling for all and sundry data will land you in an information jungle from where you cannot come out, leave alone leading your organization to success.
The MIS reports should not contain unwanted, irrelevant insignificant data. Ask only for such data/information that you really need and that you can make use of.
It should contain maximum information and minimum data.
It needs not supply the managers with the routine details of an organization’s daily activities. Instead, they should provide the manager with the new insights about the business and thus lead the manager to action.
Designing of MIS reports is a job that needs special attention of the manager. There should be proper interaction between managers at different levels in the hierarchy and the floor level personnel before designing the formats. Any amount of time in designing of proper MIS is worth spending.
Calling for too many reports, apart from spoiling accuracy, often tends to give inconsistent result since different reports emerge from different departments.
Let not your MIS be designed in such a way that information gets lost in the jungle of data.
