Case Study: Sykes Cottages achieves more strategic meetings and significant time savings with Board Intelligence

Sykes Cottages - Customer Case Study

Sykes Cottages, amid a period of rapid growth, wanted its board materials to focus on value creation and more forward-looking, strategic papers. To achieve this they engaged Board Intelligence to modernise reporting and governance processes, drawing on its dashboard work, the Write reporting toolkit, and the Read and Manage digital board portal and pack builder.

Board Intelligence ran workshops to design a value-driver dashboard, trained report authors in journalistic-style briefing using Write, and deployed Read and Manage to secure and speed up pack creation. As a result, directors now spend the majority of meetings on strategy, papers are clearer and surface key issues up front, and board pack production "now takes a fraction of the time" — changes CEO Graham Donoghue described as “life‑changing.”
