START FOCUSED. EARN THE RIGHT TO SCALE.
One new product or market approval
Start with one team and one workflow. Adapt by region, business unit and system before expanding.
CAPACITY GOES INTOGrowth decisions with clear conditions
Who joins · what earns the next step
Core team: Business sponsor + risk partner + independent challenger. The sponsor agrees the outcome and reviews the decision.
Scale only when: Independent challenge confirms the evidence and residual exposure; decision conditions have named owners and deadlines.
Connected ownership: Product or Revenue owns the opportunity; Risk challenges the case without taking over the business decision.

MAKE THE THINKING VISIBLE
Under what conditions can the pilot proceed within appetite?
The pilot depends on one critical supplier. The output connects supplier interruption to customer impact, identifies a concentration threshold and proposes a capped launch with a tested exit route. The recommendation includes what must be true to proceed and what triggers a stop.
Review and acceptanceThe accountable risk owner accepts the evidence and residual exposure. The delegated authority records the decision.

THE EXECUTIVE TEST
What changes
because of it?
Reserve released capacity for growth scenario workshops, emerging-risk investigation and testing whether mitigations will work.
CapacityHours assembling and reviewing risk packs
Decision effectivenessTime to a risk-informed decision; conditions closed before launch
ForesightWarning lead time; indicator coverage; unresolved critical dependencies
QualityUnsupported assessments, material omissions and overdue actions
Are you optimising for faster approval rather than better risk decisions?
The test is the quality of the decision and its conditions. Keep independent challenge, material exposure and unresolved evidence visible. Do not monetise hypothetical incidents avoided.
Faster approval is not the goal by itself. Risk appetite, independent challenge, evidence quality and accountable acceptance remain decision gates.
THE 80/20 APPROACH
A strong starting point.
Shaped around your business.
Keep the useful structure. Adapt the priority, workflow, data, tools and success measures to your requirements.
Your priorityYour dataYour toolsYour measures
80/20 is a design principle, not a fixed scope or a measured ratio. All examples are illustrative; benefits are established through your own trial.Your commitment, our role and the investment
TIP brings: the tailored brief, facilitated build, reusable working structure and trial review. Your team brings: approved inputs, workflow expertise, an accountable owner and time to test in real work. Your organisation retains decision and release authority.
Agree the first stage before committing to the full journey. The proposal sets out fees, participant effort, trial scope and success measures. Include licences, review, upkeep and any integration in the total investment.
TEAM: 3h. ADVANCED: 4h. ACCELERATE: 2 × 4h with a workplace trial. FUNCTION: 8h + synthesis + 4h. The full journey is 27 facilitated hours, plus preparation, trial and follow-through; attendance varies by stage.
Start with approved AI tools and manual exports, with human review and named ownership. IT confirms access and data policy; sensitive or regulated workflows may need additional security, legal or governance review. Integrations, custom applications and unattended operation are separately scoped.
Inputs: recurring assessments, evidence-preparation hours, review time, eligible scope and costs. Outputs: specialist capacity, assessment throughput and decision lead time. Expected-loss changes require defensible probability and severity estimates; keep them separate from cash savings and avoid claiming “incidents prevented”.
