What Operational Risk Really Means Day to Day
Beyond buzzwords: the everyday sources of operational loss
From process failures and human error to vendor outages and cyber incidents, operational risk shows up in routine tasks. Effective consulting solutions connect these moments to controls and metrics that teams understand, use, and improve without slowing the business down.
Standards that help, not hinder
Basel guidance, supervisory expectations, and resilience regulations can feel heavy. We translate them into lean, value-focused practices. If a tool or template does not drive decisions, we reshape it until leaders and teams actually rely on it confidently.
A near‑miss that rewrote a playbook
One insurer spotted an invoicing anomaly minutes before a batch release. Instead of blame, they mapped the process, tuned checks, and added a simple exception review. Losses avoided, morale improved, and their new playbook now mentors other teams across regions.
Designing a Fit-for-Purpose Risk Framework
We replace box-ticking with crisp narratives, control evidence, and quantified exposure. Workshops surface genuine pain points, while heatmaps link to remediation priorities. When executives see trade‑offs clearly, budgets and timelines align, and teams stop treating RCSA as paperwork.
Scenario Analysis and Stress Testing That Teach
We anchor scenarios in your processes, dependencies, and past near‑misses. Facilitated workshops reveal how incidents spread across functions. The result is a narrative stakeholders believe—specific enough to act on, yet broad enough to capture messy real-world dynamics.
Scenario Analysis and Stress Testing That Teach
Loss data are sparse, so we triangulate. Expert judgment, external benchmarks, control effectiveness scores, and throughput analytics converge on ranges. We document assumptions, test sensitivity, and show decision makers how mitigation changes the curve from severe to tolerable.
Third‑Party and Supply Chain Risk without the Checkbox Fatigue
Due diligence that finds the real gaps
We combine assessment responses with evidence: SOC reports, control tests, incident histories, and site interviews. Findings tie to service criticality and exit feasibility, so remediation plans are proportionate and deadlines align with actual operational exposure.
Contracts that embed resilience
Clauses on notification times, continuity proofs, failover testing, and data portability matter. We help negotiate obligations that survive crises, not just audits. Clear triggers and credits create incentives for timely fixes when vendor performance begins to drift.
Signals that matter after onboarding
We track vendor health with telemetry: ticket severity trends, patch latency, turnover, financial stress, and geopolitical exposure. Alerts route to owners with predefined actions. Subscribers get a template for scoring signals by impact, noise, and remediation speed.
Data, Technology, and Automation for Better Risk Decisions
We standardize taxonomy, enrich events with causal factors, and tag control breaks. Patterns emerge across teams, not just incidents. Insights inform training, process redesign, and capital discussions, making operational risk a strategic feedback loop instead of a ledger.
