Case Study: a FTSE 250 financial services firm transforms governance into strategic advisory with Board Intelligence

FTSE 250 Financial Services Firm boosts board support by 50% with Board Intelligence

The customer, a FTSE 250 financial services firm, faced the challenge of managing its complex, multi-jurisdictional governance structure as it grew rapidly. Its team was overwhelmed by the administrative burden of running nearly 180 board and committee meetings a year, which hindered its ability to act as a strategic partner. To modernize its operations, the firm partnered with vendor Board Intelligence and implemented its board portal platform and report commissioning workflows.

By adopting Board Intelligence's platform, the governance team automated paper chasing and report commissioning, achieving 75% adoption from authors in the first cycle. This efficiency allowed the team to support a 50% increase in meetings without adding staff and transformed its role from administrators to trusted strategic advisers engaged at the start of projects. The vendor's solution also provided the board with superior tools for review and collaboration, getting directors up and running on the new platform in just ten minutes.
