Corporate Functional Leaders

Risk transformation begins with understanding and evolving with the latest threats, regulations, and best practices. Using automation, analytics, and other tools to innovate, automate, and optimize risk management across the entire business, we help your organization evolve from document-centric to data-centric programs. This includes providing technical expertise, leading practices, and critical audit services to the internal audit function and building agile enterprise-wide risk management strategies that are consistent and enforceable.

Your organization’s core assets are the people, data, and digital technologies required for operation. While they are your greatest strengths, they’re also prime attack vectors, introducing significant risk to the business, your customers, and your vendors. A mature cyber posture begins with robust Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) that enables you to identify, prioritize, and remediate risks, control gaps, and regulatory issues. Our team establishes this baseline and executes advanced stress tests on all cyber and privacy controls, capabilities, processes, and procedures to learn from and outpace real-world threats.

Accelerating digital innovation and competitive disruption make it challenging for executives and functional leaders to evaluate the technology vendor landscape and implement a fully optimized software ecosystem. To ensure your organization has the technology stack and process architecture to fuel compliance, governance, business growth, spend management, and user satisfaction, our team develops an integrated, scalable systems architecture. This includes strategically onboarding new vendors, building holistic data strategy programs, and using advanced BI and analytics tools to unlock, accelerate, and centralize data assets.

Functional budgets are often created via an annual copy-and-paste exercise that varies little year to year. When looking to optimize costs, executives might set targets and then find the money within their department. This approach can generate cash, but incrementally. Our zero-based approach starts from cash and challenges companies to think differently with their spending. We help you design a budget that is materially lower (30%+) and based on what you really need to enable the strategy, including better sourcing, vendor rationalization, and continuous automation throughout key business processes.

A scalable business model requires the right infrastructure and talent, meaning employee needs and financial priorities must align with organizational goals. Central to this aim, we architect an innovative HR operating model with efficient business processes and organizational structures coupled with optimized HR technology and user-friendly tools. From this base, we implement effective workforce and succession-planning strategies that drive productivity and engagement for on-site, remote, and hybrid workers while enhancing controls, rationale, and opportunities for compensation and payroll transformation.
