Sealed Promises
The board seals a customer promise; the envelope opens itself on the due date.
The job
Registers every customer promise made to the board in advance and grades it automatically, including each executive's own prediction. The board sees which promises were kept or broken, and how well each leader forecasts.
The moment
Each customer promise made to the board is sealed in an envelope like a time capsule, along with the executive's own prediction. The envelope opens itself on the due date.
The chairman taps an envelope, the wax cracks, and the verdict reads: broken, down 12%, not the 30% promised.
Inside is the CEO's own sealed note from three months earlier, predicting a 25% drop. The CEO's forecast was 13 points too optimistic.
The board asks for the league table of forecast accuracy to go into the CEO's annual review.
