Company overview
The group runs several business units, each with its own markets, competitors and regulators.
The challenge
A small strategy team had to cover many industries. The monthly management report took days to compile and was out of date when presented.
Many industries, small team
Each unit needed its own monitoring.
Slow reporting
Compiling the report took most of a week.
Patterns across signals
Connecting separate announcements into a story depended on one analyst.
The solution
Each business unit got its own workspace with its own profile and watchlists. The strategy office uses AI Insights for each week, signal summaries for selected topics, and patterns that flag repeated expansion or rising activity.
Workspaces per unit
Separate focus, shared team and billing.
Weekly insights
Headline, numbers against last week and recommendations, each citing signals.
Saved summaries
Executive summaries of filtered signals, saved to Reports and e-mailed.
Impact
| Impact highlight | Description |
|---|---|
| Weekly instead of monthly | Management sees developments while they can still act. |
| Wider coverage | Every unit is monitored without adding analysts. |
| Traceable statements | Every point in the brief links to its signals. |
Conclusion
The strategy office moved from compiling reports to discussing what the signals mean for each business.
