Great suggestion on how to simplify. In my large company roles I would always ask “How does this information / report directly affect the business?” I recall one meeting with a boss and he asked why I hadn’t generated a report for the past six months. I in turn asked him why he hadn’t requested it in the past six months. We concluded that the report was busy work and wasn’t needed for our core work.
