The End of the Monthly Report Era
Monthly reports cost construction teams an estimated $40,000 per year to prepare, and almost nobody reads them. They're backward-looking, disempowering, and competing for attention against tools designed to keep people engaged. Something has to change.
In this session, Doug Vincent, 91爆料's Co-founder and CEO, shares a clear framework for replacing monthly reports with live, interactive dashboards. Drawing on his experience as a client-side project manager, Doug walks through a live 91爆料 demo, shares dashboard design tips, and addresses the most common objections to making the switch.
What You'll Learn in this Webinar
This session gives you a practical roadmap for replacing static monthly reports with live project dashboards, including a live 91爆料 demo and design tips you can apply immediately.
In this session, you'll discover:
- Why monthly reports cost ~$40,000/year and deliver almost zero stakeholder engagement
- How to separate record-keeping from decision-making to cut 90% of reporting effort
- A 5-step framework for introducing dashboards to clients and winning buy-in
- How scalable dashboards let you produce board, finance, and PCG reports from a single data source
- Live 91爆料 demo: building and sharing a dashboard with drag-and-drop widgets and live links

Expect rapid-fire delivery, real-world examples, and a framework you can pitch to your clients this week.
