Get to the bottom of issues
Finding the root cause of a problem can be difficult when you are immersed in the daily operations of the business. We can help you answer:
-
what went wrong?
-
why are there areas of underperformance?
-
how can we improve?
​
Our approach
Whether you want to discover what is, what has been, or what could be, scoping a review is a critical first step to ensure you get the clarity you need. Our inquiries are methodical and thorough, keeping you in the loop throughout the process.
We approach reviews with an inquisitive mind looking for the root cause and opportunities for improvement. When we interview people, we aim for them to feel they are part of the solution, not the problem. It is important that people are positively engaged in the process so there is support for implementing actions arising from the review.
Performance concerns
When a business area, a product or service is not performing as you expected, we can conduct a review to understand the factors that drive performance giving you levers for improvement.
We can analyse components of the operating and service delivery models, assess the risks and issues facing the business area, product or service delivery and make recommendations for addressing underperformance.
Policy, framework or plan review
A thorough review of a policy, framework or plan to give you insights into its effectiveness. We can also check for compliance of the document against legal, regulatory, ethical and other requirements.
We have experience in strategy, strategic planning, corporate planning, governance documents, emergency management, crisis management, and business continuity.
Risk deep dive
Whether you want to get ahead of the potential, leverage an opportunity, or are experiencing issues, a risk deep dive will explore a particular risk (including compliance risks) or topic in depth.
We will identify control gaps and weaknesses to consider against risk appetite. A deep dive can also serve to build awareness and garner support to improve the management of a priority risk.
Decision framework review
Find opportunities to enhance decision-making by reviewing and/or designing frameworks that add the right level of robustness (or streamlining) for the situation.
We specialise in qualitative decision-making in times of crisis and uncertainty. We will work with you to understand the circumstances, the decision-makers and the support required to make the highest quality decisions with the best available information.
Post-incident review
A retrospective on a risk realised will be conducted using a methodology appropriate to the incident and context. We work with your support or other services where relevant (eg HR, legal, psychologists, law enforcement).
We believe in a 'no blame' approach that identifies the controls that worked, those that could be improved, and potential gaps.
