What purpose should our company-held interests serve?
When ownership objectives remain broad, it can be difficult to connect a company-held interest with the wider direction of the business. A clear statement of purpose gives the review a common starting point.
What to bring & where to begin
Bring the business objectives, current responsibility records and a description of the interests under review. The discussion can organise the purpose of each interest, the questions requiring attention and the information needed for the next review.
Agree the next useful step
Choose the document or decision that would make the situation clearer. Agree its scope, the information needed and who will review it. Keep the next step connected to the business question rather than adding work without a defined purpose.
