    Why Excel is Killing Your Projects (And What to Use Instead)

    Send us Fan Mail Summary In this insightful interview, Mohammad Shana'a, CEO of Morta, discusses how their platform is transforming construction project management through data integration, trust-building, and AI. Discover how Morta's bottom-up approach is creating industry-wide trust and efficiency, and explore the future role of AI in construction. Key Topics ♦️ Trust is the constraint: Most construction failures trace back to fragmented, unreliable data — not capability gaps. Transparency is the fix.  ♦️ Admin work is the silent killer: Automating menial tasks isn't about efficiency for its own sake — it's about returning professionals to strategic thinking.  ♦️ Data integrity before AI: Deploying AI on bad data compounds errors. Getting foundations right is the unglamorous prerequisite no one wants to talk about.  ♦️ Bottom-up beats top-down: Lasting digital change in construction starts with the people who actually run workflows — not mandates from above.
