Why Excel is the most expensive system in your organization
TransAlta lost $24 million from a single copy-paste error in a spreadsheet. More than 20 years of research shows that 88–94% of operational spreadsheets contain similar errors — baked into the structure and invisible to the people who built them.
Excel is usually the first tool you reach for when you need to calculate, compare, or track something. The problem starts when it becomes your company's operating system: processes that were meant to live in a spreadsheet temporarily end up staying for years, and the whole thing depends on one person who knows it inside out.
This episode looks at what really goes into the cost of running on Excel, what risks it creates, why companies wait so long to change, and how to figure out which processes to move first.

If you want to go deeper into a specific process, reach out. A 30-minute conversation is where we start — enough to understand your situation and figure out the next steps.
