Is Your Board Cycle Structurally Sound?

01Our board packages are under 30 pages and open with an executive summary.

02Every decision item uses a one-page brief that sets out the recommendation, the evidence behind it, and the decision architecture: who decides, who is consulted, who is informed.

03Directors arrive having read the full package.

04The CEO has socialized the key decisions with the Chair, and the decision architecture for each is agreed before the room opens.

05Directors challenge the recommendation and each other openly, and dissent is heard.

06Our action log is maintained between meetings and is the single source of truth.

07Our KPIs give early warning, flagging a problem while there is still time to act.

08A decision that starts to go wrong has an agreed trigger and a named owner to bring it back to the board.

09Our KPIs show whether real value was created, not just whether the target number was hit.
