SERVICES
Clarity & Capability
Products and enablement for Integrated Decision-Making — board-ready memos, dependency heatmaps, scenario stress tests and evidence trails for decisions where the measurement itself shapes the outcome.
Delivered as practical outputs with optional training so teams can maintain them over time.
Decision Scoping Brief
Clear options, key unknowns and the recommended next step.
Dependency & Impact Heatmap Where your dependencies and impacts connect to risk, performance, approvals and assurance.
Scenario Testing & Value Ranges
What breaks first, what it costs (in ranges), confidence levels and response options.
Program Charter & Evidence Trail Owners, cadence and what counts as defensible proof.
Key Deliverables
These outputs are designed to survive scrutiny and slot into governance cycles — built from the indicators and disclosures you already maintain. Where needed, we pair them with training so teams can keep them current and defensible.
Who it’s for
Senior decision owners across public sector, academia and enterprise — CFO/COO, Head of Risk, infrastructure and asset managers, research and faculty leaders, sustainability leads.
Problem it solves
"What decision are we actually trying to make — and what evidence do we need next?" Quickly clarifies the decision in view and turns existing indicators and disclosures into language a board can act on without over-claiming.
What's included
One-page scoping brief — options, key unknowns and the recommended next step
Clear mapping of dependencies to exposure pathways, and what governance call comes next
Short data reality check — what you have versus what scrutiny would require
Short follow-up note summarising what was covered
Requirements
The decision or proposal in view (a draft scope is fine)
Current indicators and disclosures, whatever exists today
A risk register extract or equivalent if available
Known constraints — timing, approvals, governance, resourcing
Executive Briefing
30–45 minutes
Who it’s for
Head of Risk, risk and assurance teams, GM Assets and Operations, finance partners, policy leads and research managers.
Problem it solves
"Where is this materially affecting operations, approvals, cost, or assurance risk?" Establishes a defensible view of how dependencies connect to financial, social and environmental exposure — built from what your organisation already tracks.
What's included
Dependency and impact heatmap
Integration notes for your existing risk register, controls and governance cadence
Data and evidence gap assessment — what's defensible now, what needs strengthening
Prioritised shortlist of risk themes and decision levers
Requirements
Risk register or controls library (or equivalent governance documents)
Existing disclosures and indicators, plus source datasets — even if messy
Any prior materiality or risk work (TNFD, ISSB, GRI or internal)
Key owners who can validate what's actually true
Risk Diagnostic
2–3 weeks
Who it’s for
CFO and Treasury leads, portfolio and investment risk, GM Assets and Operations, risk owners, strategy teams, major project and program owners.
Problem it solves
"What breaks first, what does it cost (in ranges) and what are our options?" Turns interconnected dependencies into tested scenarios and decision options that hold up under scrutiny.
What's included
Scenario exposure table — plausible futures, triggers, consequences and confidence levels
Options set — controls, mitigations and interventions, with capex and opex implications
Defensible value ranges and sensitivities — no false precision
Board memo draft — risk narrative, recommended actions and governance asks
Optional board or executive simulation — a friendly cross-exam of the logic
Requirements
Decision gates and time horizon — what must be true, by when
Any scenarios already in use, or constraints to build them
Exposure anchors — operational and asset data, plus financial proxies (GL categories if relevant)
Existing risk appetite statements or thresholds, if available
Stress Test Sprint
4–6 weeks
Who it’s for
Risk owners, sustainability leads, finance and assurance teams, operations leaders, program managers.
Problem it solves
"How do we keep this alive, defensible and improving?" Builds governance rhythm around the work so exposure doesn't drift — and the outputs don't die in a folder on a shared drive.
What's included
Priority program blueprints — program charters, governance cadence and evidence trail
Evidence trail and control cadence — what gets checked, by whom, how often, with example outputs
Quarterly refresh of the heatmap and scenario table as conditions change
Optional enablement support — cohort or simulation — so teams can maintain the logic and update assumptions
Requirements
Named owners for each output — heatmap, scenario table, memo pack
Existing governance cadence to plug into — committee or working group, with dates
Reporting calendar and assurance checkpoints, so refreshes align with reality
Where outputs must land — risk register, project governance, board packs
Agreed evidence trail format — assumptions, what we know, what would change the decision
Embedded Delivery
Quarterly cadence
Enablement Formats
Optional sessions that build shared language, pressure-test assumptions, and transfer the routine needed to keep decision artefacts current and defensible (owners, cadence, evidence). For natural capital contexts, we can start with an accredited CPD foundation (Capitals Coalition-developed) before applying it to your decision gates.
Accredited CPD Foundation
1–2 days
Who it's for
Risk and assurance teams, sustainability leads, finance partners and cross-functional teams working with nature-linked dependencies — across asset management, infrastructure, resources, insurance and investment.
Problem it solves
"We need a shared language before we can act on dependencies." Establishes an accredited baseline so your team can identify, assess and respond to natural-capital dependencies surfacing in risk registers, asset performance and assurance pipelines.
What's included
CPD UK-accredited training: Natural Capital for Business Decision-Making — On the Path to Nature Positive and Net Zero
Developed by the Capitals Coalition and Social Value International
Shared language for natural-capital concepts, methods and terminology
Practical application to your sector and your decision in view, with bespoke content
Requirements
Cross-functional team — six to fifteen participants recommended
1–2 days depending on format and depth
Best paired with a Risk Diagnostic — the CPD gives your team shared language for the dependencies we'll be mapping, so the diagnostic runs faster and the governance cadence sticks
Board Simulation
Half-day or 2 sessions
Who it’s for
Board, Executive Committee, CFO and COO, Head of Risk, senior asset owners, research leadership.
Problem it solves
"Do we actually believe our own story?" Pressure-tests the memo, assumptions, scenarios and options — and builds shared language for decisions that have to hold under scrutiny.
What's included
Facilitated simulation built around your decision pack
Challenge log — assumptions questioned, gaps found, actions agreed — with updated next-step actions for the memo or pack
Tightened board-ready narrative with sharper governance asks
Requirements
A draft memo or decision pack — even incomplete is fine
Clear decision gate and time horizon — what must be true, by when
Six to twelve participants: the decision owner plus relevant challengers from risk, assurance, finance and operations
Any existing scenario assumptions or constraints, even informal ones
Agreement on what the session outputs will feed into — board pack, Executive Committee paper, risk committee
Helpful: your current risk appetite or thresholds, and any prior materiality work
Team Cohort Pathway
4-6 weeks
Who it’s for
Cross-functional teams across risk and assurance, sustainability, finance, operations and strategy.
Problem it solves
"How do we turn insight into consistent decisions?" Builds shared language and a repeatable maintenance routine — owners, cadence, evidence — so teams can refresh the heatmap, update scenarios and produce defensible outputs again and again.
What's included
Optional CPD baseline (developed by the Capitals Coalition) to establish shared language before the work sessions
Guided work sessions to produce a heatmap, a scenario table and a memo
Rubrics and templates so outputs are consistent and auditable
A lightweight internal rhythm — cadence, owners, evidence expectations
Requirements
A live decision to work on — one decision gate is enough
Named sponsor and one or two internal owners for the heatmap, scenario and evidence outputs
Access to relevant data owners for two or three short check-ins across risk, finance, operations and sustainability
Team time commitment of around 90 minutes per week per participant, over 4–6 weeks
A place for outputs to live (SharePoint, Drive, Confluence or Notion) with a named version owner
Helpful: current indicators and disclosures, a risk register extract and any prior materiality or risk work
