Reporting is dead - dashboards are here
Reporting is dead – dashboards are here

Isn’t it funny: people keep telling me, they have „no time“ to learn or do „cool stuff“, because they are so busy with their work. In this article, I want to show another example where many people in HR, Controlling, IT and many other functions can save enormous amount of time! Let’s check this aspect of the Digital Transformation and what WE can gain from it.

Let’s talk about REPORTING!

Management just loves numbers, traffic lights or graphs showing where we are and what might come next. Before any project, investment, or just on a regular basis, there are thousands and thousands of people creating reports to satisfy this need to reduce risks, provide a planning base or justify investments.

Preparing a slide deck for 100 people is great, but seeing thousands of people using it without any extra effort, is a scaling effect, which is – in my eyes – unique.

For my last presentation „Enabling an Organization for the Digital Age“ for example – at the Quadriga Hochschule Berlin, I uploaded the slides already 2 weeks prior to the Keynote, with the effect that it had been downloaded about 1.000 (mehr …)
