Our Experience
We conduct governance health checks and help develop governance frameworks that optimise how organisations work. Our approach to governance is holistic and bespoke to our client organisations but we always ensure appropriate rigor around approvals and authority to protect our client’s reputation.
We also have strong experience in advising senior leaders with how to better understand and mitigate their risks. We will introduce clarity and simplicity to often complicated risk processes that lose sight of the main goal.
Because we know that each organisation differs in size, risk profile, culture and function, you won’t get an off-the-shelf product from us.
Instead, we combine our multidisciplinary approach to tailor advice, frameworks and plans to your particular governance challenges.
We are highly regarded for our expertise and experience providing practical advice on:
- Accountability frameworks
- Capability and board reviews
- Committee structures
- Delegations
- Functional efficiency
- Organisational plans
- Performance indicators
- Risk management
- Terms of reference
Skills and expertise
Better governance is about creating appropriate frameworks and processes which enable organisations to make better, evidence-informed, risk-based decisions.
Our staff have worked at all levels of state and federal government – from Senior Executive Service to policy and legal officers – and in a large number of public sector agencies. This means our people have a practical understanding of what works and doesn’t work, so we won’t deliver you theoretical solutions that can’t be implemented.
Having this range of expertise on tap means we can build a bespoke team for your project that has the right level of skill and experience to drive good governance outcomes for your team.
