Education Isn’t Keeping Up
Most workers today don’t know what a database is or how to write simple code, even if they have a university education. In today’s world, that’s like only being able to do math on a slide rule. You don’t need to turn your entire labor force into software developers, but giving them a small amount of technological literacy has a huge effect on productivity. Small snippets of code and simple databases can save a single worker hundreds of hours of time every year and increase confidence in their results and analyses.
Your Technology Isn’t Serving You
Have you ever found a spreadsheet with an error that it took years for someone to notice? Have you accidentally deleted a critical piece of data, only to not realize it until it was too late to recover? Do you have massive spreadsheets that bog down your computer whenever they are open? When was the last time you sent a critical spreadsheet to an executive only to realize that it wasn’t the latest version? By adopting modern tools and techniques, all these problems – and more – can be avoided by using the right tools.
