Case Study: Essentra strengthens board relationships and saves time with Board Intelligence’s Report Writer

How Report Writer helped Essentra strengthen board-executive relationships and save time

Essentra, a leading global provider of essential components and solutions, was navigating a period of major change, including a strategic review, transformational M&A and a newly formed executive team. With many executives writing board papers for the first time, reports were becoming too long, detailed and unfocused, making it harder for the board to get clear, decision-ready information.

Board Intelligence implemented Report Writer to bring structure, brevity and real-time guidance into the drafting process, while enabling smoother collaboration across the company secretary team and executives. The result was shorter, sharper board papers, faster drafting, and stronger board confidence in the new executive team, with the company saying it saved hours per report and two to three hours of report writing time each month for the CEO.
