Chapter 1

Diagnosis Patterns

Across cases, the same diagnostic patterns recur: weak liquidity governance, board pack drift, missing risk appetite, tax under-provisioning.

Board & Management Relevance

Reframes 'unique' problems as predictable patterns the playbook is designed to fix.

Key Operating Questions

·Do any of these patterns describe us?
·Which diagnostic gives us the clearest read?
·What is our next step?

Implementation Checklist

·Map current pain points to case patterns
·Run the relevant diagnostic
·Sequence the first 90-day intervention

Chapter 2

Outcome Evidence

Cases quantify outcomes — liquidity buffer uplift, ETR reduction, board satisfaction — to set credible target ranges.

Board & Management Relevance

Gives the CFO a defensible business case for transformation investment.

Key Operating Questions

·What outcomes are credible in 12 months?
·How will we measure them?
·Who owns each outcome?

Implementation Checklist

·Define benefit metrics upfront
·Baseline current state
·Report benefits realised quarterly
