One failed board submission costs more than this engagement before a single meeting is rescheduled.
Your business case is right. The board still said no.
Most IT budget submissions fail not because the numbers are wrong, but because the way the ask was communicated was wrong. It was not built for the people making the decision.
The structure, the language, and the sequencing were wrong for a board that does not think in technical terms and was not asked to.
The Board Brief is a structured consulting engagement for CIOs preparing a submission for a programme of £5m or more. Built around your specific programme, your specific board, and your submission date. Delivered by people who have been accountable in those rooms.
We are selective about the engagements we take on. The work requires the right commitment from both sides.
Iain Maclean delivered a $1bn Etihad PSS transformation on time and budget, and led a £650m IT portfolio reporting to the Group CIO at IAG. Paul Walton managed communication through a live £232m finance issue at Sainsbury's.
