We support the risk management function across all stages of risk maturity by exploring and understanding the drivers of the organisation’s risk landscape, including emerging risks and disruptors. We provide clear insights and bespoke guidance.

Preventing a risk from escalating into an issue or a crisis, and identifying a unique opportunity associated with a risk which could offer a first mover advantage, these are powerful benefits. These benefits can be achieved through a good awareness of current and emerging risks, proactively identifying key trends and anticipating the likelihood of any disruptions or undesirable events before they happen.

Our key services in this area include:

• Contemporary and emerging risk identification
• Risk appetite definition and frameworks
• Strategic risk exploration (including scenario planning and reverse stress testing).

We help leaders define and embed a future fit approach to risk, developing optimal risk management cultures and governance with strong oversight in their organisations.

It drives informed decision-making and sets the tone for a risk culture, which can help mitigate risk and prevent reputational and financial losses.
