From Chapter 6 of the essay · RoPS · draft · 5 min read

The one print question your board will care about

The one idea

Open with the line. For every pound spent on print this year, what did the organisation get back? Marketing teams have ROMI. Sales teams have ROI. Print, until now, has had nothing. RoPS fills that gap.

Six dimensions in one short list

Name the six dimensions from Chapter 6 in two lines each, no more. Direct financial return. Time to market. Internal time recovered. Waste and scrappage. Stock proliferation. Environmental performance.

The board moment

Boards do not ask whether print is cheap. They ask whether spend is justified. RoPS gives a defensible, year-on-year answer to that question.

The essay first, with a short closing line for the reader who wants to talk. Chapter 6 contains the full six dimensions, the 20-point audit scorecard, and a worked example.
