"But, I've seen time and again in meetings - 10 people will argue and argue over the placement of this field, or the inclusion of that one, or the other field got cut off by mistake. Hours are spent generating and fixing the report that, if it gets sent out to those same 10 arguing people, nine of them will ignore it and toss it in the trash. "

I periodically stop delivering a report just to see if anyone complains. If not, I eliminate the noise.

I do something similar. I have Scheduled Tasks creating spreadsheets that get placed on a NAS. They run every day. When someone wants to see a given report, it is always there.

For instance, if you want to see which userids have access to which systems, it gets generated every day and is on “the server”.
