Being fit for the future is as much about business looking in as well as out: is the right organisation in place, is the board management of corporate responsibility effective, are checks and balances appropriate, does assurance deliver, and are the right principles and performance measures embedded and effective? We appraise strengths and weaknesses in your current governance approach and organisational ability to lead and deliver on corporate responsibility.
What We Do
Our starting point is to understand your current governance approach, limitations, aspirations and insights through research and senior level interviews.
We review this approach against best practice, as well as undertaking external interviews with relevant governance stakeholders, such as institutional investors and analysts, to understand their perceptions and expectations.
This gives us the inputs to appraise strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Next, we help you to articulate your ambitions and to develop a clear vision and roadmap for the future.

Much of our work involves some fine-tuning of existing governance approaches. The case studies on Starbucks and Shell provide further project level detail.
