SteerCo Notebooks
Volume 01, Steering, Not Status: a charcoal linen notebook with a purple ribbon

Volume 01

Steering, Not Status.

12 SteerCo principles from financial services. Also applicable across industries.

A SteerCo exists for one thing: decisions that get the programme from A to B. Every slide either helps the board decide, or it goes to the back.

AI can write you a statistically convincing storyline in seconds. It cannot give you judgement. This notebook does: twelve principles, each with why it matters, how to do it, and the slide that goes with it.
