Managing Data: A Business Essential

Written by Cami Shimp | Wed, Oct 30, 2024
 

Ever found yourself jumping between different spreadsheets, notebooks, and apps just to piece together basic information about your business? You’re not alone. Many business owners struggle with scattered data, and it’s costing them more than they realize.

 

“According to a McKinsey report, employees spend 1.8 hours every day—9.3 hours per week, on average—searching and gathering information. Put another way, businesses hire 5 employees but only 4 show up to work; the fifth is off searching for answers, but not contributing any value.” (Source)

 

The Hidden Cost of Scattered Data

 

Picture this: Your sales data is in a spreadsheet, customer information is scribbled in a notebook, inventory is tracked in another app, and important documents are spread across various email threads. Sound familiar? This data scatter isn’t just frustrating – it’s hurting your business in several ways:

 
  • Wasted Time: How many hours do you spend searching for information that should be readily available?

  • Missed Opportunities: When data is scattered, patterns and opportunities become nearly impossible to spot

  • Costly Mistakes: Double entries, outdated information, and lost data can lead to expensive errors

  • Delayed Decisions: When you can’t access information quickly, important business decisions get put on hold
