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.

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.
