Checklist: Better Executive Reporting

Better Executive Reports for Better Board Discussions

How to write board papers that support more effective decision-making

Being a strong board that makes good decisions relies heavily on the quality of information you are getting from your management. Board portals have made it easier to gather and access information and to store board information safely. But they have also increased the temptation to dump more information into board packs, without explaining why it’s relevant, or how the Board should consider it.

This checklist lays out the key points which emerged from a recent webinar with our CEO Susan Stenson and Martyn Chapman, Chief Product Officer for OnBoard.
