Founding readers

Go into your next programme review with the right questions

One ERP programme at a time, taken apart for the people who approve it. Issue 01, the Zeiss case, is on the site now.

The reader charter

Six house rules. Each one links to the page where you can check it.

1
Every line names its outlet.
What we report comes with the newsroom that reported it and a link. How a story is made
2
No verdicts in our voice.
We say what was reported and who reported it. The judgement stays with you. The steps
3
Corrections carry a date.
When we get something wrong, the fix is logged where anyone can read it. The corrections log
4
Questions are about your programme.
The committee paper asks about your baseline and your benefits, not about another company's staff. The working sheet
5
Your address is not for sale.
It is used for the brief and for nothing else. Privacy
6
No account, no password.
The reading room is a setting in your browser. Clear it and it is gone. The reading room

The committee paper

The house ritual. An issue ends with a printable paper of questions to take into your next programme review (the steering committee, where the budget is approved), with a blank table for your own baseline, forecast and benefits. Issue 01 has one.

From the committee paper

Ask for the approved budget and the current forecast on the same scope, side by side.

A question about your own programme, not a finding about any company. Issue 01 has six more like it.

Questions

What is not decided?: There is no price and no opening date. Benefits beyond the full playbook archive are not decided. Founding status is not a promise of a discount or of free membership.
Is this an account?: No. The founding reader view is a setting in your browser. The first half of issue 01 and the working sheet are open to everyone.
Who pays for it?: An issue can carry one sponsor slot, and it is labelled. Sponsors never see or shape the stories. How we work

P.S.

Next programme review, ask one thing.
