In a world where data is multiplying, the challenge is no longer in obtaining it—but in transforming it into meaningful decisions .
“Infoxication”—a portmanteau of “information” and “intoxication” —describes a state of informational saturation: an excess of information leads to a scarcity of goals.
The concept, coined by Alfons Cornella and extensively explored by Harvard Business Review, Gartner, and Deloitte, warns of a silent risk:
- Information overload can lead to paralysis, inaccuracy, and decisions that are out of step with what really matters to the business.
- Companies that organize their information effectively make decisions more quickly, with greater confidence, and with a clear purpose.
Infoxication isn't solved with more data. It's solved with direction.
