Investment committee pack automation

Case study: investment committee pack automation for an institutional allocator. Intelligence Holdco connected portfolio data feeds to template-driven document generation with dual review on figures.

Project discovery phase
Workshop and requirements capture.
Delivery and validation
Structured rollout with acceptance testing.

Client context

Monthly committee packs assembled manually from spreadsheets and manager PDFs. Version errors delayed meetings; chairs received inconsistent section ordering.

Problems encountered

Data breaks between custodian and internal models discovered late in pack cycle.

Narrative sections duplicated across managers with conflicting terminology.

Risk metrics calculated differently in appendices versus executive summary.

Our approach

Defined canonical pack schema with mandatory sections and glossary.

Automated figure extraction with reconciliation status flags blocking narrative until green.

Workflow routed drafts to investment team then risk second line.

Implementation measures

Templates versioned; each pack stored generation identifier.

Commenting remained in-platform to avoid email attachment sprawl.

Archive search allowed historical comparison for committee questions.

Technical challenges

One manager feed lagged 24 hours; SLA banners appeared on affected sections automatically.

FX conversion rules required explicit documentation in glossary tooltips.

Outcomes

Pack preparation calendar advanced by several business days on average.

Figure-related objections in meetings declined in subsequent quarter.

Committee minutes referenced pack version ids improving audit trail.

Intelligence Holdco view

Institutional clients benefit when pack automation respects their IPS vocabulary—not generic vendor labels.

Client identity and technical environment details are anonymised. Outcomes describe operational improvements—not securities performance.

Collaboration model

Joint steering committees met fortnightly with decision logs published within twenty-four hours.

Product owners from the client had direct access to backlog prioritisation workshops.

Lessons retained

Playbooks updated after go-live incorporated lessons from hypercare tickets.

Internal Holdco knowledge base entries anonymised for future proposals.

Risk management during delivery

Delivery risks—vendor delay, key illness, environment access—tracked in RAID logs shared with steering committee.

Knowledge transfer metrics

Training attendance and runbook exercises measured before hypercare sign-off.

Post-go-live support

Thirty-day hypercare included standard; extension priced in change requests if needed.

Extended outcomes analysis

Risk officers reported higher confidence in figures presented because reconciliation gates blocked publication of amber statuses.

Secretariat time on pack collation shifted to exception review rather than copy-paste.

Committee feedback loop

Chairs reported packs arrived earlier with fewer figure objections. Risk officers used version identifiers in minutes to reference exact data states during queries.
