Strategic Risk Management

Developing risk frameworks

We support organizations in developing or enhancing risk management frameworks that are tailored, forward-looking, and fully aligned with the company’s mission, goals, and strategic direction.

Our work covers the full lifecycle of risk management, whether starting from scratch or refining what already exists.

‍

The framework typically includes:

• Risk Strategy – Defining how risk supports the organization’s overall purpose and long-term direction. Where needed, we support organizations to define an appropriate risk appetite aligned with the company’s strategy, risk profile, and capacity to manage uncertainty. Risk appetite can be translated into actionable risk limits and monitored through key risk indicators.
  ‍
• Structured Risk Process – Establishing a clear and repeatable process for identifying, assessing, managing, and reporting risks.
  ‍
• Governance & Ownership – Clarifying roles, responsibilities, and decision-making structures to ensure accountability.
  ‍
• Integration – Ensuring that the framework is embedded in business planning, performance management, and day-to-day operations.
  ‍
• Documentation & Communication – Summarizing the framework in guiding documents that are anchored within the organization and clearly communicated.

Our goal is always todeliver frameworks that are not only compliant and robust, but truly usable –supporting better decisions and a more resilient organization.

Implementing Processes for Approving Significant Changes (NPAP)

We help organizations establish structured processes for assessing and approving significant changes such as new products, services, systems, or business models. This ensures that risks are proactively identified, evaluated and managed before implementation.

‍

Our approach typically includes:

• Defining criteria for what constitutes a significant change.
• Designing a step-by-step process for evaluation, risk assessment, and approval.
• Involving relevant stakeholders across risk, compliance, legal, IT, operations, and the business.
• Embedding documentation, accountability, and decision-making protocols.
• Aligning with internal control frameworks, risk appetite, and regulatory expectations.

A well-functioning NPAP ensures that innovation and change can happen, but in a controlled, transparent, and responsible manner.

Facilitating Risk Workshops

We design and lead interactive risk workshops to help teams identify, assess, and prioritize key risks. Workshops are tailored to the audience whether board members, executive teams, or employees and adapted to the organization’s specific needs. Our approach fosters engagement, builds shared understanding, and supports a risk-aware culture.

Risk Culture

We support organizations in building a strong and forward-looking risk culture. An organization that enables accountability, agility, and innovation.

‍

Our services include:

• Initiatives to Increase Risk Awareness – Facilitating discussions and activities that prepare teams for emerging risks and future challenges.
• Understanding Regulatory Demands – Translating key requirements of the AI Act and other regulations into practical knowledge across the organization.
• Risk as a Driver of Innovation – Helping organizations reframe risk as a strategic enabler, supporting innovation while maintaining control and compliance.

A strong risk culture is not about avoiding risk, it’s about understanding it, owning it, and using it to move confidently into the future
