How does the AI help improve the quality of management reporting packs?

Your papers and reports won’t be AI-written, they will be written by your executives with AI assistance, just like spell-check or grammar tools. Report Writer handles administrative tasks (structure, formatting, gap analysis) whilst executives focus on insight, analysis, and recommendations. The board sees high-quality, decision-ready papers authored by humans with appropriate accountability.

What types of reports can I create using Report Writer?

Report Writer is optimized for all types of board and management reports: CEO reports, CFO financial updates, quarterly performance reviews, strategic proposals, risk reports, committee papers, and management reports. It works with any governance framework and can be customised to your organisation's specific reporting requirements.

How is this different from other AI tools such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

Report Writer is purpose-built for board documents using 20 years of governance expertise. Generic AI tools deliver 20-30% time savings as there is significant rework needed, whereas our purpose-built AI board and management report writing solution delivers 60% savings because it understands board governance: what makes a good paper, how to structure strategic content, when to flag missing analysis, and how to maintain decision focus.

Can the AI Report Writer integrate with our existing board and management reporting suite?

Yes. Report Writer works as a Microsoft Word Add-in, integrating seamlessly into your existing productivity suite. If you use Board Intelligence Portal, authors can link drafts to briefs, submit papers directly from Word. The tool fits into your current workflow without requiring new systems or processes.

What about data security? Is this AI report writing software secure and compliant?

Yes. Report Writer operates entirely within your Microsoft 365 environment and our secure, enterprise AI service. Your confidential board data isn't stored by any external AI providers and is never used for training. It's enterprise-grade security built for the exacting standards of board reporting, with ISO27001 compliance.

How long does implementation take?

Report Writer is a Word add-in with no training required.

How is Report Writer different to Lucia AI?

Lucia AI was a standalone platform that has evolved into our new Report Writer as a Microsoft Add-In. For more information, contact your Board Intelligent representative.

You shouldn’t need read every pack twice

Ask any director: a board pack takes two reads. One to take everything in, one to make sense of it — because at 220 pages on average, finding your way is a job in itself, even when every page is well written.

The maze has a price. In our research with the Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland, 54% of directors and governance professionals said identifying the key messages for the board is like hunting for a needle in a haystack.

IQ Insights takes on the wayfinding, so your first read starts where the second used to.

Book a demo

Chart the whole pack before page one

Open the pack and the map is ready: the decisions ahead, the guidance sought, and the challenges and opportunities that cut across papers. You know where your time should go from the get-go.

Surface what matters in each paper

Draw out key points and asks, even those buried deep. Flag what deserves a closer look, see which stakeholders have been considered, and recap the past papers on the item, links included.

Make best practice standard practice

The questions the best boards put to every paper, drawn from 20 years of board advisory work — now just a click away for every reader, in every pack, governed by your organisation.

Green-light every pack with confidence

For the team behind the pack, IQ Insights works just as hard. Run it ahead of publishing to spot the paper that needs strengthening while there’s still time, flag likely discussion points to the chair, and share the pack with confidence, even when papers land late.

And afterwards, get fewer “can you recap…” emails, because directors pull past papers and key points themselves, freeing your hours for the value-adding work.

“IQ Insights is very exciting. With AI, directors can more quickly review packs and make the same quality decisions.”

Managing tens of thousands of board meetings a year across 100+ offices and 52 countries, Apex Group turned to Board Intelligence and its AI capabilities to not only make pack production 40–60% more efficient but also establish “a single, consistent global standard for governance.”

What is IQ Insights?

IQ Insights is a meeting-preparation tool inside the Board Intelligence portal. At a click, it puts the questions the best boards ask first to any pack or paper — the overview, the asks, the critical information, the stakeholders considered, what came before — and marks what it finds, with links back to the page. The conclusions stay yours: it surfaces findings; directors form their own view.
Is IQ Insights the same as Insight Driver?

Yes. IQ Insights is the new name for Insight Driver — the tool itself is unchanged. The name now matches its companion, IQ Experts, our conversational AI: the two work side by side on the same pack, in the same portal.
Won’t identical insights lead to groupthink?

No, because signposts mark the route; they don’t choose it. IQ Insights surfaces findings: the asks a paper makes, the critical points, the stakeholders considered. What each director makes of them is where their experience comes in — and with the essentials in view for everyone, the debate starts richer, not narrower.
Why not just use ChatGPT or Copilot?

A generic tool sees whatever is pasted into it and answers as a generalist — as one director told researchers from INSEAD and Wharton, “It would give me a lot of stuff, but most of it was not relevant.” IQ Insights works inside the portal, on the pack itself, and every insight is one of our board-effectiveness frameworks codified, built on 20 years of advising FTSE 100, Fortune 500, and OMX 30 boards, and checked for safety and accuracy on the way in and out.
