Case Study: Rolls-Royce improves board reporting and strategic discussion with Board Intelligence

Rolls-Royce trains 100 report writers and improves board papers with Board Intelligence

Rolls-Royce, an FTSE 100 engineering company, sought to improve the quality of its board materials, which were often overly technical, long, and dense. This made it difficult for the board to focus on high-level strategy. The company enlisted Board Intelligence to help its secretariat team achieve better-structured papers that would highlight key issues and facilitate strategic debate.

Board Intelligence delivered a two-part solution involving training for report writers and the implementation of its Write reporting toolkit. This led to a step-change in the quality of board information, enabling better conversations in the boardroom. The solution also resulted in considerable time savings for report writers and the secretariat, as first drafts were of a much higher quality, and the improved reporting principles were adopted across the wider organization.
