Case Study: DC Thomson Media achieves 75% faster monthly reporting — saving 72 hours a month — with ClearPoint Strategy

DC Thomson Media - Customer Case Study

DC Thomson Media, a major UK publisher based in Dundee, faced a labor-intensive, Excel-based strategic reporting process that required two people to spend days each month collecting updates from about 20 senior leaders, preparing board pre-reads, and tracking action items. To centralize and automate strategy management, DC Thomson Media partnered with ClearPoint Strategy to implement the ClearPoint strategy management platform.

ClearPoint Strategy delivered centralized dashboards, project-to-objective alignment, agenda and action-item tracking, and red‑alert summary reports, giving leaders a single place to update and review progress. As a result, DC Thomson Media reduced report-preparation time by 75%—saving roughly 72 hours a month—cutting monthly prep to about 8 hours and just 10–15 minutes per business to export pre-reads, while improving transparency, accountability, and eliminating version-control issues.
