Excel Dieter, PowerPoint Joe, and the management system chaos

Anyone involved in setting up and operating management systems—such as for information security in accordance with ISO 27001 (ISMS) or quality management in accordance with ISO 9001—is all too familiar with the scenario:

Pages and pages of PowerPoint slides, huge Excel files with complex formulas, and dozens of Word documents often form the basis of the entire documentation.

And the few people who create and maintain these files are often considered indispensable for the operation of the system.

(I affectionately refer to them as Excel Dieter and PowerPoint Joe.)

Why is this problematic?
This dependency regularly leads to tangible problems:

• Time and capacity constraints, because those responsible usually have many other tasks to perform.
• Know-how risk, because no one knows exactly how Dieter’s formulas or Joe’s PowerPoint logic work.
• Prone to errors and inefficiency, because manual maintenance simply costs too much time—and therefore money.

In short:
The system depends on people instead of being supported by structures.

The better solution:
Specialized software can make management systems significantly leaner, more secure, and more efficient. This saves you time, money, and stress—and allows you to say goodbye to the constant hassle of Excel, PowerPoint, and other programs.
