Benefits
Being a Hang Glider means you have
a balanced approach to quality management. You realize that the future of quality will involve technology, but it still feels smooth and safe to manage and analyze most of your data in spreadsheets. They’ve kept you up this far.
Spreadsheets are a universal language in business, so they feel familiar and approachable to everyone.
You are looking to the future but are taking a practical look-before-you leap approach to make sure you’re adopting the right technology for your processes.
Risks
You’re doing great, but you’re also open to risks.
Relying on spreadsheets as your main way to build
and analyze programs can give you a false sense of security with reporting and insights, especially since you have the rightful confidence of a data and spreadsheets expert. But that’s not the only risk.
Reporting and analytics within spreadsheets is a long, manual process that is open to honest human error at every stage.
Ad-hoc reporting for your boss is difficult and time-consuming, so you have less time to manage quality programs.
Depending on how you collect data, connecting all your data in multiple spreadsheets is almost impossible, so it’s difficult to get a holistic view and find actionable insights.
The data entry is endless, and you’re never quite sure if everything is
up to date.
Warning:
Check Your Equipment Before You Jump
Let’s be honest, most spreadsheet mishaps are born of honest mistakes by well-meaning humans. It is hard to accept, but data shows that a whopping 88% of spreadsheets have errors. From misaligning rows, to hiding cells, or to simply using copy and paste incorrectly, the smallest mistakes can lead to costly consequences.
With over 22 years of experience, RizePoint can get you the right equipment and guide you to
a safe landing when it comes to keeping your spreadsheets while you modernize your
quality programs.
