YOUR CHALLENGES

ORGANISATIONS ARE FACING CRITICAL CHALLENGES, REQUIRING RESILIENCE AND AGILITY.

The world today is full of opportunities to lead with confidence and purpose. Seizing these opportunities involves taking risk, but doing so responsibly.

OUR CAPABILITIES ENABLE YOU TO FACE INTO THESE CHALLENGES:

MOVING FROM BOARD CONFORMANCE THROUGH TO PERFORMANCE.

The complex landscape of legal and regulatory requirements and governance expectations can be dizzying. In this context the potential exists to lose sight of the strategic imperatives and it’s hard to make time to learn and develop as a board or executive team. Our colleagues have the first-hand experience to navigate these challenges in a way that empowers the board to make decisions based on a real understanding of risks and without losing focus on value.

DIGITALISING YOUR GRC FUNCTIONS AND IMPLEMENTING DATA-ENABLEMENT.

Stakeholders are demanding more engaging and effective information, capable of being manipulated to meet individual requirements. The landscape of technologies in the GRC arena is vast and rapidly evolving. There is no single solution that meets the needs of all functions or organisations. Our colleagues understand how to access, analyse, and present complex data to be user-friendly and decision enabling.

DRIVING RESILIENCE AMID UNCERTAINTY.

The manifestation of risks through the pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need to understand where failure can occur and to build financial and operational resilience. We identify risks outcomes and embed resilience in processes, systems and ways of working that enable agility and flexibility, regardless of the scenario that arises. Resilience means understanding the stresses that can occur and embedding a culture that enables a rapid and effective response.

CREATING VALUE THROUGH FUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMATION.

The pressure to deliver more for less is real. Our core capabilities are in the internal functions that enable effective risk management and mitigation: internal audit, compliance; and risk. We deliver outcomes that improve effectiveness, efficiency, value and responsibility. With a view to the future, we support leaders to implement change, providing mentoring and coaching, and helping them to determine prioritisation in transforming their areas to be fit for the future.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN YOUR CLIMATE AND ESG STORY.

Organisations have collectively woken up to the need to build authenticity into how we react to, and act upon, environmental and societal imperatives. Many consultancies are supporting directors to strategically refocus in response to these imperatives. We go beyond this to provide solutions that enable monitoring, assurance and reporting. We bring in-house experience and are comfortable discussing the “elephants in the room” to drive clarity in reporting on ethics and purpose.

UNDERPINNING STRATEGY AND PROCESSES WITH THE RIGHT BEHAVIOURS.

Doing the right thing to deliver value responsibly requires a culture, mindset and behaviours that enables the organisation to take risks with confidence. We help leaders and teams to articulate their appetite for risk and to develop strategies that translate their appetite into meaningful actions. We have the experience to develop a balanced approach to visualise cultural levers and outcomes and to enable assurance to be provided that the actions within the organisation match the ambitions. We mentor, coach and deliver training, as well as creating dashboards to underpin behavioural assurance.
