The Challenge

Our Approach

We don’t just consult - we work alongside you to embed risk capability within your business to get true Return On Investment. We help you see risk, so you can take risk. That means tailored solutions that meet your strategy, culture and risk maturity - not off-the-shelf advice.

What does this

mean for you?

Our Services

Risk Management Framework

We can design a right-sized risk management framework for your organisation that is tailored to your operating model, identifies your material risks and ties into your strategy, values, corporate governance and performance frameworks. Every part of your Framework is crafted to reflect the risk management approach in your business.

Risk Appetite Statement

We can turn the RAS into the decision-making tool it is supposed to be. Fully connected to your material risks, we balance strategic opportunity with the right guardrails to help you make decisions and monitor performance with clarity. Whether you a starting with a blank slate, or an unwieldy framework that has you turning in knots, we can help you get to the heart of this important part of your risk framework.

Risk Framework & Culture Maturity Diagnostics

Using our August Advisory Risk Maturity Model, or your own preferred framework, we can conduct a complete risk maturity review that looks beyond what is written, to what is done. We recommend including a risk culture element to the diagnosis to incorporate listening sessions from Board, Executives and team member focus groups to really unpack whether your risk framework is being lived as it has been designed. This is a great way to understand where you are and where are the opportunities to improve. We take pride in recommending the actions that deliver the most uplift for where you are now.

Risk Strategy & Roadmaps

So you know you need to uplift, but you don't know where to start? We can help you uncover the areas of your risk framework that will bring the most insight to business decision making, or the most uplift in effectiveness from your starting position. We help you see the end state, will giving you a clear roadmap that will bring enterprise risk maturity at the right pace.

Fractional CRO / Risk-as-a-Service

Sometimes your organisation needs access to expertise but does not need the permanent headcount increase. For a select number of clients each year, we can provide senior risk expertise on your Executive team for a minimum commitment, e.g. 5 days per month over 6 months, bringing the right skills where and when you need it. Fractional support is different to part-time or interim as it operates as an advisor or consultant without the responsibility of day-to-day operations, allowing great focus for the strategic or risk maturity matters of need.
