IQ (Information Quality) is a survival issue for both public and private sectors: companies & governments with the best information have a clear competitive edge. MIT is dedicated to working with government and industry to improve their ability to capture and harness the power of their information. To this end, MIT provides multiple IQ programs and initiatives, which equip organizations with knowledge and tools that improve the quality of their information. These IQ programs and initiatives are based on rigorous relevant research, analysis, and practical experience.
