Where Excel becomes a business risk
Dependency Risk
Critical spreadsheets are often understood by only one or two people.
If they leave, the business keeps the risk.
Rigid Processes
Without proper knowledge, Excel files become difficult to change when processes evolve.
This slows down growth and creates frustration.
Hidden Errors
Small mistakes inside key files can create major operational and financial issues.
Often, nobody notices until it is too late.
