The overarching goal for every interaction with our advisors is to improve the quality of the decisions being made and enhance the organization’s performance. Increased risk awareness lays the foundation for improving organizational resilience against a broad range of disruptive events.
Mentoring individual directors or members of the organization’s C-Suite provides an effective environment to dive into specific risk scenarios and any potential financial or operational impacts. This approach provides a safe and constructive learning environment to explore topics that might be new or beyond the scope of previous practical experience for any member of the senior leadership team. At the committee level, our advisors provide feedback and support for normally scheduled meetings and any specified assigned projects. Audit & Risk committees frequently request that we review and provide feedback on specific sections or documents in the board packet. With prior authorization, our advisors can attend specific meetings or provide primers on specific topics to facilitate decision making. Nomination and Governance committees may ask for input related to organizational capabilities, skill set gap assessment, skill set definition or interview support for key new hires within our areas of expertise.
As part of a crisis response team, our advisors may be asked to take on additional responsibilities as requested. Our knowledge of the organization’s operations, capabilities and domain expertise can be leveraged in an advisory capacity as part of event declaration, threat identification & containment or recovery efforts.
