Starting point
The board had to decide, and the papers for it were too long, not comparable and disconnected from implementation.
Target picture
Board formats after which the direction is clear and implementation can start.
Approach
- Settled what had to be decided and which facts were missing for it.
- Built the options so they could be laid side by side.
- Fixed follow-up, ownership and dates.
Result
- Faster decisions, because the options were comparable.
- The implementation teams knew after the meeting what to do.
Lessons
- A board paper works when it is short, makes the options comparable and says who does what afterwards.
