Unlike most potential partners in this space we have been working on and engaging with boards on the introduction of Enterprise Risk Management for over fifteen years. Twenty years ago we were developing, marketing and implementing Monte Carlo based simulation packages for some of the largest PFI/PPP projects in the world. A large part of our workload is in education. As an expert external provider in risk we supply extensive tailored training and refresher courses. These include briefing papers, presentations and interactive sessions as well as scored question papers – so that it’s not all talk.
We have presented to and sat on multiple board Audit Committees and Risk Committees. Engagement with boards of directors requires a very precise skill set and we have that in spades. For more experienced risk management clients the tools and techniques we employ are those required to keep risk systems alive and relevant as the company evolves. Understanding and embracing the culture of any client is crucial and our clients are all very different.
