Board and management papers

Reporting slows most organisations down. It doesn’t have to.

The average board packs keeps getting longer: 226 pages in 2023.

Reams of data, crumbs of insight

The average board pack is now 226-pages-long — and getting longer every year, according to our research with CGIUKI. And yet, despite all the work going into increasingly lengthy board papers, two-thirds of directors say the information they receive is “Weak” or “Poor”.

This isn’t hopeless. All it takes to fix broken reports is to embed the right methodology — the QDI Principle™ — with a tried-and-true formula.
