Executive Insights
A new CEO inherits a transformation programme
Before endorsing or replacing an inherited programme, examine its remaining value, commitments and delivery conditions through more than one source.
Your budget reveals which strategy you intend to deliver
Strategic priorities need money and the right people's time. Test whether the approved portfolio can be delivered with the capacity the budget actually provides.
Putting a price on delayed execution
The cost of a delay extends beyond the project budget. Estimate deferred benefits, extra spending and recovery options without double counting.
Making room for challenge in the boardroom
A courteous board can still miss the difficult question. How chairs can make disagreement useful and ensure concerns affect the decision.
Choosing KPIs that help leaders make decisions
A useful KPI needs a clear definition and a decision attached to it. Distinguish the measure from its target and test what the number may conceal.
Choosing where to start with AI
Compare proposed AI uses by business need, available evidence and manageable risk. Choose a first test that can answer a useful investment question.
