Successful change requires the engagement and participation of those involved, and our delivery approach provides the right framework for managing the people side of change.  

First and foremost, we immerse ourselves in our clients’ environment and work as an extension of their workforce. Our approach entails thoughtful planning and sensitive implementation – consulting and working with those affected by the change to ensure that they agree with (or at least understand) the need for change, and have a chance to input the change management process.  

We also support the risk management, treasury and finance community by providing the highest standard of training and seminars. Led by experienced lecturers who count many years of industry-related experience, our training courses are designed for risk, treasury, finance and front office functions. They currently include economic capital modelling, specialised risk modelling, value and risk-based capital management, accounting and finance-related short courses. Each encompasses case studies, interactive lectures and workshops.

Our offerings, which are supported by proprietary methodology (e.g. assessment of education needs) and tools (e.g. existing course material) include:

• A preliminary analysis of current training needs and objectives – such as reducing the number of queries around a new model or regulatory requirement;
• Development and delivery of training courses and learning events (game-based, seminars, training, etc.) to equip people with the required knowledge, instil a culture shift or embrace change bringing subject 'to life' ensuring messages are embedded in the staff culture;
• Evaluation of the effectiveness of training programmes e.g Firms must ensure that staff and management are ware of the risks they face, the key warning signs they should be alert to and how they shroud respond if they uncover suspicious behaviour;
• Walker Review on Corporate Governance in UK banks and other financial institutions e.g. FSA strengthened approach to the approval of individuals who mange and influence Firm at a senior level
