A family management information system (MIS)

Organizations use a management information system to collect and analyze data to improve their performance. For example, the marketing department must have numbers of the sales that can be compared to measure performance. One of the advantages of MIS is to facilitate making decisions that are aligned with the set goals. What can we learn from this form of operation? It is possible in a family with set goals to have an MIS. This will allow the family to equip its members on what kind of information they need and for what. Imagine walking into a library with no idea what you want. That can happen when we are not intentional about deciding what we feed our minds. Like in a market, every seller aims to make maximum sales. Fora buyer, there is a need to budget and prioritize what is needed within the available resources.

Unfortunately, families risk being misguided due to a lack of self-discipline on knowledge of what is the most important need. Our family members are exposed to a lot of information that may cause harm due to the bias of people. Here is one of the reasons why our families need a MIS; “If youwill listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is rightin his sight, and give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, Iwill not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26). Why the need to carefullylisten to the voice of the Lord? The necessity comes from the consequences of the decision to listen; the healing we will receive.
