Moving Away from Spreadsheets: How to Know When It’s Time

July 23, 2018

The spreadsheet conundrum... Joe Smith, sales director for Great Start-Up Number 5 Billion and Thirty-One, puts on a blindfold and reaches out blindly for something, ANYTHING, to help him organize his team’s deals and commissions.

He’s not actually HOLDING a spreadsheet, he’s using Excel—because it’s the lowest hanging fruit. It’s free and easy to learn. And for a while, you know what? It works great. He can use VLOOKUPS and shortcuts to navigate. He can import booking results and activity metrics from Salesforce or his CRM. He can get so good at it that packaging complex algorithms becomes second nature.

HOW THE GOVERNANCE OF HUMAN CAPITAL AND TALENT IS SHIFTING

whitePaper | February 16, 2020

The focus on human capital and talent in corporate governance is intensifying, as more stakeholders led by large institutional investors seek to understand how companies are integrating human capital considerations into the overarching strategy to create long-term value.
