Why reporting hurts

The report pack eats days your leaders don’t have.

Most leadership teams rebuild the same pack every month or quarter. By the time the board reads it, it describes last month.

Where the time goes

Chasing updates

Someone emails every owner, waits, then chases again.

Copying numbers into slides

Figures move from spreadsheets into a deck by hand, and errors come with them.

Softened status

Updates written by the people being measured tend to look better than the plan does.

Report to the Board

Summary

Two of four goals are on pace. Revenue and the leadership bench are ahead of plan. On-time delivery and safety are behind, and both need a decision this month.

Performance against plan

Zero harm: bring LTIFR below 2.0Behind
80% complete, 86% expected by now

Risks requiring board attention

On-time, in-full delivery is at 94.2% against a 98% target. Two depots account for most of the gap.
Safety actions closed within 14 days are at 72%.
One General Manager role is vacant while the cold-chain hub is 45% complete.

Asks of the board

Endorse the depot recovery plan for delivery, with a review in November.
Note the interim owner for the cold-chain hub.

The six report types

Strategy progress

Execution and accountability

Who owns what, open and overdue actions, and where ownership needs to change.

Engagement and alignment

Check-in completion, engagement goals and the ideas teams have raised.

Financial and forecast alignment

Financial goals and the forecast, side by side with the plan.

Risk and opportunity

The risks to the plan, and the places to push harder.

Board report

Performance against plan, the risks that need the board’s attention, and the asks of the board.

Inside a report

What your board or leadership team actually reads.

Report sections

A goal-by-goal review

Each goal gets its progress, its variance against where it should be today, the objectives behind it and who owns them.

Charts that show the gap

Actual progress against expected pace for every goal, so the gap is clear at a glance.

Questions

Reporting questions, answered.

Can we edit a report before it goes out?

Yes. GPS drafts the report for you. Edit it like a document, save versions, then export or email it.

Which report types are there?

There are six: board report, strategy progress, execution and accountability, engagement and alignment, financial and forecast alignment, and risk and opportunity.

Where does the report data come from?

From your live plan in GPS: your goals, objectives, actions, owners and progress against the timeline.

Can we choose the tone and length?

Yes. Choose the tone and the length before you generate, and pick which sections to include, such as the goal-by-goal review, charts and summary tables.

Do we need a board to use it?

No. The same reports work for owners, investors, a parent company or your own leadership team.

How long does a report take?

Minutes. GPS writes the draft from live data, so the time goes into reviewing it, not rebuilding it.
