What is contextual information?
The term contextual information refers to information that is directly related to the circumstances of a particular transaction or event. This varies depending on the industry and specific business procedures that are in play. In project management, for example, contextual information may include the current status of tasks, availability of resources, and potential risks. In supply chain management, decision-makers may need access to inventory levels, market trends, and transportation bottlenecks to make reasoned and informed choices.
By providing business leaders with relevant, real-time information, they can understand a situation more acutely before taking important decisions.
