The board pack your director reads.

For FinTech and HealthTech companies, 50 to 500 staff, in Australia and the United Kingdom.
The question on your agenda
Which of your companies are moving fast on AI and automation, and which are not.
The board pack answers it for one company at a time, from recorded sessions with the CEO and six function heads. Report 000142 is the example below. The company in it is fictional.
What lands on the board table
Four answers.
Report 000142 opens with four questions a board asks about AI and automation and answers each from the readings. The company is automating: Workflows 58 and Tools 71, both Systematic. What the board was told about Oversight did not match.
The gap.
The report states the gap between the picture the company drew of itself and what its functions run. In Report 000142, Oversight was over-read by 18 points. It reads 34, Early-stage, the weakest of the six.
One figure.
In Report 000142, A$747,000 of annual productivity is recoverable by closing the Oversight gaps the report identifies. It is an estimate in the company's currency, with its basis stated in the report.
Three required actions.
Each is owned by a function and dated 30, 60 or 90 days from issue, with the condition that closes it. In Report 000142, the three actions carry A$188,000, A$309,000 and A$118,000 of the figure. The balance of A$132,000 is closed by no single action.
Four questions for your director to ask.
Report 000142 closes with four questions selected by fixed rule from its findings: one keyed to the weakest reading, two to the required actions and one to the direction of the gap. None is authored for the pack.
The six readings, and what moves.
Workflows, Tools, Skills, Oversight, Spend and Outcomes, each from 0 to 100 with its band, and the rules that apply in the company's sector and country. From the first Quarterly Review the pack shows movement against these readings.
