SERVICES
Clarity & Capability
Products and enablement for Integrated Decision-Making — board-ready memos, dependency heatmaps, scenario stress tests, and evidence chains for decisions made in complex, coupled systems, where measurement choices shape outcomes.
Delivered as decision artefacts with optional training activation, so teams can maintain them over time.
Decision Starting Point
Clear options, key unknowns and the recommended next step.
Dependency & Impact Heatmap Where your dependencies and impacts couple to risk, performance, approvals and assurance.
Scenario Exposure & Valuation Ranges
What breaks first, what it costs (in ranges), confidence levels and response options.
Program Charter & Evidence Chain owners, cadence and what counts as defensible proof.
Key Deliverables
These artefacts 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 activation so teams can keep them current and defensible.
Who it’s for
Senior decision owners (public sector/academia/enterprise): CFO/COO, Head of Risk, infrastructure/asset managers, research/faculty leaders, sustainability leads.
Problem it solves
"What decision are we actually trying to make — and what evidence do we need next?" Rapidly clarifies the decision context and converts existing indicators/disclosures into board-safe risk language without over-claiming.
What's included
1-page Decision Starting Point (options, key unknowns, recommended next step)
Pragmatic framing of dependencies → exposure pathways → likely decision gates
Short data reality check (what you have vs what would be needed for scrutiny)
Requirements
The decision / proposal (or draft scope)
Current indicators/disclosures (whatever exists today)
Risk register extract or equivalent (if available)
Known constraints: timing, approvals, governance, resourcing
Executive Briefing
30–45 minutes + short follow-up note
Who it’s for
Head of Risk, Risk/Assurance teams, GM Assets/Ops, Finance partners, policy leads / research managers.
Problem it solves
"Where is this materially affecting operations, approvals, cost, or assurance risk?" Establishes a decision-grade view of coupled dependencies and readiness (financial + social + environmental), based on what your organisation already tracks.
What's included
Dependency & Impact Heatmap
ERM integration notes (how it fits your risk register, controls, and governance cadence)
Data & evidence gap assessment (what's defensible now, what needs strengthening)
Prioritised shortlist of risk themes + decision levers.
Requirements
Risk register / controls library (or equivalent governance artefacts)
Existing disclosures/indicators and source datasets (even if messy)
Any prior materiality / risk work (TNFD/ISSB/GRI, internal)
Key owners who can validate "what's actually true".
Risk Diagnostic
2–3 weeks
Who it’s for
CFO/Treasury, portfolio / investment risk, GM Assets/Ops, risk owners, strategy, major project/program owners.
Problem it solves
"What breaks first, what does it cost (in ranges) and what are our options?" Converts coupled dependencies into scenario exposure and decision options that hold up under scrutiny.
What's included
Scenario Exposure Table (plausible futures, triggers, consequences, confidence levels)
Options set (controls, mitigations, interventions; capex/opex implications)
Valuation ranges (decision-grade ranges and sensitivities — no false precision)
Board memo draft (risk narrative, recommended actions, governance asks)
Optional: Board / exec simulation (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/asset data + financial proxies (GL categories if relevant)
Existing risk appetite statements / thresholds (if available).
Stress Test Sprint
4–6 weeks
Who it’s for
Risk owners, sustainability leads, finance/assurance teams, operations leaders, program managers.
Problem it solves
"How do we keep this alive, defensible and improving?" Turns artefacts into a governance rhythm so exposure doesn't drift and the work doesn't die in a folder on a shared drive somewhere.
What's included
Priority program blueprint(s): program charters + cadence + evidence chain
Evidence chain & control cadence (what gets checked, by whom, how often; example artefacts)
Quarterly refresh of heatmap + scenario table as conditions change
Enablement support where needed (cohort or simulation) so teams can maintain the logic and update assumptions.
Requirements
Named owners for each artefact (heatmap, scenario table, memo pack)
Existing governance cadence to plug into (committee/working group + dates)
Reporting calendar / assurance checkpoints (so refreshes align with reality)
Where artefacts must land (risk register, project governance, board packs)
Agreed “decision 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/assurance teams, sustainability leads, finance partners and cross-functional teams working with nature-linked dependencies — in asset management, infrastructure, resources, insurance or investment sectors.
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 that show up in risk registers, asset performance or 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 & Social Value International.
Shared language for natural capital concepts, methods and terminology.
Practical application to your sector and decision context with bespoke content.
Requirements
Cross-functional team (6–15 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, ExCo, CFO/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 integrated decisions under scrutiny.
What's included
Facilitated simulation using your decision artefacts
Challenge log (assumptions questioned, gaps found, actions agreed) + updated next-step actions for the memo/pack
Tightened board-ready narrative+ clearer governance asks.
Requirements
A draft memo / decision pack (even incomplete is fine)
Clear decision gate and time horizon (what must be true, by when)
6–12 participants (decision owner + relevant challengers: risk/assurance/finance/ops)
Any existing scenario assumptions or constraints (even informal)
Agreement on what the session outputs will feed into (board pack, ExCo paper, risk committee, etc.)
Helpful: your current risk appetite / thresholds and any prior materiality work.
Team Cohort Pathway
4-6 weeks
