To remain competitive a company must continually upgrade itself by:
  • Clarifying and refining focus
  • Analysing all parts of its operations objectively
  • Identifying potential for improvements
  • Ensuring that improvements are carried out

Yet few companies have the resources needed to do this effectively. It makes sense to use
someone who will speedily get to know your organization and get down to working closely with
your people to identify the opportunities and turn them into measurable outcomes.

Latilla's experience as consultants to and executives of global financial institutions and
software companies allows us to provide our clients with tailored solutions to meet their needs.
Examples of our areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Operational Risk Identification and Analysis Assessments
       How an organization manages operational risk depends on its ability to capture,
       classify, control and communicate risk related information and its ability to determine the
       possible impacts and probability of these risks. Unlike market or credit risk, operational
       risk is usually deeply embedded in the organization’s specific businesses, therefore
       simplistic prescriptive approaches can be inappropriate.
       We work with managers to identify and develop appropriate techniques best suited to the
       measurement and management of the particular risks they face.
       Our Ops Risk Assessments allow managers to ponder key questions such as “how
       bad can it get” and “how likely is the occurrence”. The assessments help highlight ad-hoc
       controls or system patches which can often do more harm than good, and focus attention
       on systematic techniques for measuring operational risks associated with, for example
       system failures, processing or control errors, business interruption, and personnel risks.
       Organizations around the globe need to answer these types of questions in order to
       determine survival techniques and maintain competence levels in the increasingly
       competitive financial markets.
