Make sense of your board pack, not just short work of it

Directors who try ChatGPT often give up quickly. As one told researchers from INSEAD and Wharton, “It would give me a lot of stuff, but most of it was not relevant.” Other AI tools are often no different because, behind the scenes, they just ask ChatGPT or CoPilot, “Summarise that for me.”

We’ve ensured Insight Driver goes much deeper by:

• Designing outputs around the frameworks built by our consulting team and trusted by FTSE 100, Fortune 500, and OMX 30 boards — ensuring that the AI surfaces not just summaries, but the questions worth asking, the stakeholders worth considering, and the context worth knowing.
• Crafting multi-stage prompts that break down the process into smaller chunks — ensuring that the output remains consistent and can be precisely controlled.
• Testing hundreds of prompts on actual board papers, ranking the results with the help of our consulting team, and confirming our findings with a group of board chairs and end users — ensuring that our AI works flawlessly in the real world.
• Setting it up in ways that ensure privacy (full data segregation; safety checks applied to both inputs and outputs) and predictability (no unexpected behind-the-scenes model changes that could modify outputs).

We don’t like generic AI summaries that can too often miss what matters, which is why Insight Driver goes beyond them. It doesn’t simply look for what’s in the pack, but also for what should be, using our 20 years of boardroom expertise as a guide. Where generic AI asks “What's in this document?” and compresses it, Insight Driver asks “What should a board be thinking about here?” and expands on it.

Insight Driver is designed as a preparation tool, not a substitute for reading, and will never tell you what to think. Rather, it helps you spot things you might have missed and identify where to focus your attention, so that you can better contribute — either in the meeting as a director, or outside of it as a governance professional supporting the board.

Private information cannot leak, either between board packs or organisations, because our AI is purposefully designed to keep no trace of it.

Data processed by the AI is held in temporary memory only and deleted once insights have been returned back to your secure Board Intelligence Portal, where they remain encrypted as per our ISMS policies already trusted by many of the most security-conscious organisations in the world. Your board information is never used for training and never shared.

Yes. If you build your board packs in the Board Intelligence platform, you can access Insight Driver from the preview tool as you’re putting your pack together, before you distribute it. You’ll see exactly what your directors will see, giving you the chance to flag anything that needs strengthening or brief the chair on likely discussion points while there’s still time to act.
