5-week leadership reporting pilot; agreed recovery narrative and KPI definitions; the colleague produced drafts for executive review. Power BI, Totalmobile, the complaints system and the TSM export library were joined read-only against the prior two board cycles before drafts landed in the leadership team's SharePoint review folder.

02What it owns
Reports toHead of Repairs, dotted line to the executive sponsor on the recovery narrative and to governance on KPI definitions.
Owns
  • Recovery board pack drafts — every section drafted into a SharePoint review folder for the leadership team to approve before the board sees it
  • KPI evidence trail — every headline figure in the pack linked to the Power BI tile, Totalmobile records and complaints data behind it
  • Recovery risk register — the recovery risks the team is tracking, named-owner per risk, carried forward between cycles instead of being rewritten
  • TSM source line — perception scores quoted in the pack carry the period, sample size and question wording from the underlying export
  • Cycle-on-cycle change log — what moved on each KPI and recovery risk versus the prior board, with source-linked commentary
Does not do
  • Changing KPI definitions — surfaces inconsistencies; governance and the Head of Repairs sign off any change
  • Sending the pack to the board — drafts only; the executive sponsor releases the final version
  • Closing recovery risks — surfaces the evidence; the named risk owner closes
Done looks like

The leadership team reviews a board pack where every recovery claim is linked to the record behind it, the recovery risks carry forward between cycles, and the executive sponsor can defend each KPI in the room without a follow-up paper.
