Our goal for helping our clients is to help them achieve specific objectives defined in terms of achieving observable business value and leave them at the end of each engagement in a position to be self-standing and not reliant on external help. We do this by combining hands-on engagement, a practitioner’s perspective combined with a rigorous analytical approach and disciplined execution to help our clients across six practice areas:
Data-enabled business-decision making requires more than the implementation of data engineering and business intelligence toolsets. We help our clients obtain business value from these investments through understanding what insights their analytics need to provide, what are the obstacles to obtaining these on a consistent and timely basis and how does their data need to be consistently organized and integrated to overcome these obstacles and achieve these insights.
The combination of a practitioner’s perspective and a rigorous analytical approach enables us to help our clients define how data needs to be organized and integrated consistently across the business lines and enterprise programs to achieve both operational and analytical objectives. We help our clients rely on their data with confidence through the implementation of data governance structures, processes and tools that are appropriate to their current maturity and needs.
We help our clients achieve their goals for their Operational Risk, Enterprise Risk and related risk and governance programs through design and implementation of new capabilities, creation / update of supporting frameworks, policies, taxonomies and key risk indicators as well as implementation of new compliance mandates. As practitioners we can help address specific risk assessment objectives e.g. identification of key cross-business risks (e.g. resiliency) and assessment of the risk changes resulting from acquisitions and new business models and technology platforms.
Governance of risks arising from technology / information risk controls provides unique challenges. They impact the business in terms of events that impede the smooth delivery of products and services to customers and potentially undermine overall business resiliency. The technology function is also responsible for the delivery of capabilities to close control issues across the business. Governance requires a shared understanding between the business and its technology partners of how the business is exposed together with an understanding of technical domains and specialized control frameworks.
Realization of business value and achievement of business goals from new capabilities requires disciplined execution and a constant focus on delivering targeted business capabilities rather than just implementing new technical capabilities. We help our clients across the implementation lifecycle through requirements elicitation and analysis, vendor package / tool selection, project and program management and management of the transition to the post-implementation environment including design implementation of new post-implementation business processes and controls.
Ensuring smooth transfer of knowledge so that our clients are self-standing and not reliant on external help at the end of an engagement is core to our approach to helping our clients. It is achieved both through formal training sessions and hands-on coaching across the execution of a project. We can also provide training to client staff on its own either addressing individual topics in half-day workshops or multiple topics across multi-day bootcamps.
