Over 85% of companies turned their systems off, turning to spreadsheets and ad hoc manual analysis. The chasing of dead-end streets based on spreadsheet analysis—making infeasible decisions from cursory spreadsheet analysis– undermined corporate value. Unequal to the Demand Shifts in the Pandemic. My quest is “why?”
