Too much information can be almost as bad as no information - less is more!

Whilst your car produces a myriad of information when driving, there's generally only a few key data points you need to know for your journey - fuel level, speed, engine temperature etc.

No hands up? I thought so.

I feel the same, which is why we have Level 10 meetings instead, such that gone are the days of the death by meeting. 💀
