- A look at the documents and data you already have
- A short written plan with options, time and cost
Assessment
6–10 weeks · fixed price for an agreed scope
We look at your problem against a clear standard, such as a regulation or a strategy, and give you a short list of actions in order of priority.
- Where you stand today against the rules or goals that apply
- How you compare with similar organisations
- Findings ranked by risk, each with an owner and a next step
- A workshop with the people who will act on the findings
Retained advisory
