ONE spreadsheet error costing 6.5 BILLION DOLLARS!
In this episode of Ship Happens, Selby & Hamish dive deep into the world of spreadsheets – the tool we love to hate. We discuss our personal experiences with spreadsheets, from saving the day to causing chaos, and share the ups and downs of relying on these digital grids. Then, we move on to some real-life stories, including the jaw-dropping tale of how JP Morgan lost a staggering $6.5 billion due to a simple spreadsheet error. Tune in as we explore why spreadsheets, despite their flaws, continue to play a crucial role in business operations, and what the future might hold for data management tools.
