Streamlining IR: innovative strategies to maximize efficiency and impact

In recent years, the role of IR professionals has become increasingly dominated by administrative tasks. Historically, IR roles have involved a significant amount of admin work, but today, with the explosion of available data and the potential insights it offers, IR teams face the challenge of processing even more information. Despite the growth in data, the size of IR teams has remained broadly small, with many IROs at publicly listed companies running the function solo.

So how can IROs maximize efficiencies and streamline their workload to focus on more strategic tasks such as engaging with investors?

In this video interview, Darrell Heaps, founder and CEO of Q4, shares best practices on how IR teams can free up time from admin tasks and automate processes to focus on what really matters: delivering a compelling company’s story to the street and fostering relationships with shareholders.
