Data expert Tom Hinkle joins the show to shred the illusion of corporate metrics and expose why your project dashboards are filled with useless vanity numbers. Moving past the sanitized corporate speak, Tom unpacks the chaotic reality of ungoverned shadow spreadsheets, the hypocrisy of fake full-time equivalent project savings, and why project teams inevitably figure out how to game the system rather than build actionable analytics. It is a brutal reality check on why your over-engineered Sankey charts are failing, why executives will always demand simple pie charts, and why mastering the unglamorous basics of Excel will continue to trump shiny new AI tools.
