Complex businesses are inherently inefficient: 

• Less than 20% of all projects meet their original timescales, budget and/or objectives.
• Millions of pounds are lost through inefficient business processes that are easily fixable if you know where to look
• Companies are literally going out of business as they watch their strategy crumble before their eyes and markets shift direction
• All of the above are complicated, if not caused, by dysfunctional relationships between management and their teams

and all of the above are avoidable for an investment of a tiny fraction of their potential impact. 

For example, take a project of 30 people with an average daily resource cost of $400. For every day that project is delayed the budget will take a hit of $12000. For every week of delay the cost goes up to $60,000 and a month will cost an extra $240,000. 

This does not take account of lost benefits, customer dissatisfaction and loss of reputation which may cost future business and projects of this size are often many months late!  The final real figure is likely to be losses of many millions.

How do we de-risk your business? 

By combining the latest high-value management consulting techniques with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), a powerful toolset has been developed that has already delivered massive benefits to a wide cross-section of clients across the world. These methods and tools are applied across the four main De-Risk areas of Project, Operations, Strategy and Organisation.

What does "Delivery-guaranteed" mean? 

Clearly we cannot guarantee that you meet all your objectives - too many factors will be beyond our control. What we can guarantee is to meet an agreed set of objectives - and if we don't deliver, you pay nothing. For example, you could specify our objectives in many ways e.g.

• Identifying critical risks that had been unidentified up to now
• Setting up an effective Risk Management Governance process
• Stopping the business committing to unachievable objectives
• Ensuring that the strategy is sound in the current business environment
• Acquiring a new competency in risk management for the future

...and ultimately you are liable to actually meet your declared objectives, on time and within budget.

In other words, you have nothing to lose by engaging us and everything to gain.  

..and we don't hang around! Our mission is to add the maximum amount of value in the shortest time frame, transfer the essential knowledge and capabilities to your people and then move on. However, we are always available for ongoing coaching and support - both face-to-face and online.   

So why do some climbers climb without ropes?

Good question! Sometimes climbers will solo a climb (ie climb without ropes and other safety equipment) why on earth would they do this? 

Clearly the risks are greater but the advantages are that you can move faster and speed itself can be a safety measure, in order to exploit a period of good weather for example. Typically a climber will only solo a climb if is well within their experience and capabilities.  

The analogy with business is again strong. If you are undertaking relatively simple ventures (eg a simple and short project using familiar suppliers and technology) then formal risk management approaches are probably overkill and overhead. However, as soon as you start to stray into critical and complex endeavours, formal de-risking becomes your most cost effective way of ensuring success.
