The Financial Reporting Pack for the Board
What a board pack should contain: cover note, financial summary, full-year outlook, financing, strategic indicators, risks and the decision agenda.
OUR SERVICES
We turn strategic goals into an executable business plan, measurable KPIs and management meetings that actually drive decisions.
How can we improve the company’s strategy, performance and management systems? Management consulting addresses the management infrastructure of the business — from clarifying goals, to the KPIs that track them, to the way decisions are taken and followed up.
Our work covers four areas: strategy and business planning, corporate performance management, operational efficiency, and organisational transformation and management systems. Financial data underpins this work, but the focus is on executing strategy and building management discipline.
COMMON CHALLENGES
Goals live in executives’ heads; there is no shared, quantified plan.
Goals exist, but nobody knows which metric tracks them or who owns them.
Management meetings run long, and decisions are neither recorded nor followed up.
Inefficiencies are not measured, so improvements cannot be prioritised.
The organisation and decision-making model do not keep up with the size of the business.
FOUR AREAS OF WORK
Strategic goals, growth strategies, business model review, strategic business plan and implementation roadmap.
KPI architecture, target-versus-actual tracking, performance dashboards and management reporting system.
Operational performance analysis, efficiency opportunities, process performance measurement and improvement plans.
Review of the management structure, decision-making mechanisms, meeting and follow-up systems, transformation roadmap.
In a short initial call we listen to your current situation and expectations, and define the right scope for your business together.
Management and teams work to the same written goals and priorities.

A KPI set cascading from strategic goals to unit metrics, with definitions and owners.
A management dashboard tracking targets against actuals.

Steps to strengthen decision-making, meeting and follow-up routines.
An action list with owners, dates and success criteria.

Four areas: strategy and business planning, corporate performance management, operational efficiency, and transformation and management systems. An engagement can focus on one or several of them.
The duration depends on the areas selected and the company’s needs; it is agreed in the initial conversation, and the scope and timeline are set out in writing in the proposal.
Strategy belongs to your leadership. We run the process, prepare the analyses, compare options and make sure the plan is written down and measurable.
Starting from strategic goals, we choose a small number of metrics per goal; definition, data source, frequency and owner are documented for each KPI.
Yes. Once the roadmap is set, we can review progress with management regularly for the period defined in the engagement.
Tell us briefly about your main management need — business plan, KPI system, efficiency, management structure — and we will agree the right area of work together.
