What removes ambiguity is strategic clarity that aligns with ground truth.

Program management style spreadsheets are a crutch, they make it feel like you have less ambiguity than you do.

The illusion of clarity and control.

"Don't worry, we've got this under control, just look how many numbers are in this spreadsheet!"

It's a dangerous illusion… and an expensive one!

In addition, those intricate spreadsheets will make changes hard.

Each row, each process is like a Lilliputian rope holding Gulliver in place.

The organization becomes "efficient" but brittle, unable to absorb the real world disconfirming data.
