About Chad Larson
I HATE SPREADSHEETS!
I have made it my personal goal to convert businesses and people away from spreadsheets and towards more effective programs and methods. Let me tell you how your business can maximize efficiency.
For the past three decades I have worked in various software development roles for a multitude of companies. Streamlining business operations and eliminating inefficiencies in the workplace is my bread and butter. I LOVE helping companies realize true value by saving time and resources. Often this can be done by talking through a workplace bottleneck where I can offer instant assistance to alleviate the strain with small changes involving technology.
Too often I have found that the small change that needs to occur comes down to the use or misuse of spreadsheets. Despite a general usefulness and a universal understanding of how spreadsheets work, they are often a hidden danger to most companies. As I consult with and audit companies for productivity wasters, spreadsheets rise to the top. Workers “think” they are solving a problem, but they are often making matters worse, if not for the present moment, then for shortly down the road.
I can show you the light of a spreadsheet-less world for your business. Contact me now to learn how you can become the most efficient and productive company in your industry.
