Effective risk management helps organisations make better decisions, deliver their objectives with confidence, and avoid unwelcome surprises.
GGi works with organisations to develop clear, practical approaches to risk that support good governance and informed leadership. Rather than treating risk as a compliance exercise, we help embed it into everyday decision-making so leaders can understand the risks they face and manage them effectively.
Our work focuses on creating risk management systems that are simple, proportionate, and widely understood across the organisation. This enables boards and leadership teams to identify the risks that matter most, escalate them appropriately, and take timely action.
We support organisations by:
- reviewing and strengthening risk management frameworks and processes
- co-producing key risk documents and board assurance frameworks
- ensuring a clear ‘golden thread’ between strategy, risk, and delivery
- aligning risk processes with current international best practice
- training leaders and staff to apply risk management in practice
The result is stronger oversight, clearer accountability, and leadership teams that can take informed risks in pursuit of their goals.
Talk to GGi about strengthening your organisation’s approach to risk.
GGi provided valuable support and advice regarding the development of our clinical risk and governance framework. This will allow us to further strengthen our internal controls so that we can collaborate with providers to create better services on behalf of our customers. Their insights gave assurances to our national and international management teams regarding ensuring duty of care for our policyholders is being upheld.
Your feedback
What kind of risk management training can GGI offer?
Our risk management training will be tailored to your specific needs and can be delivered virtually or in-person, to whichever audience you feel would benefit from it, from your top team to every member of staff. You can expect to emerge from our training with a common understanding of risk management principles and practical tips to help you manage risks in your organisation. We will help you understand the importance of risk management and the key concepts involved; the roles, responsibilities, escalation and governance in risk management at your organisation; and the stages in the risk management process.
Why is it important to define risk appetite?
Being clear on your organisation’s risk appetite enables more effective delegation and empowers your people to take informed and controlled risks in pursuit of corporate objectives. It also helps you to strike the right balance between opportunity, rewards, and risk.
How can GGI develop my risk management system?
GGI can help to draft or renew your policies and processes. We can work with you to develop a robust risk management strategy and ensure that you have the people and systems in place to implement the strategy. We can help to establish a risk management group within your organisation – producing agendas, terms of reference and cycles of business for that meeting. Experience has shown the importance of having an operational committee to oversee the risk register and hold divisions and departments to account for how they manage their risks.
What is a board assurance framework?
A board assurance framework (BAF) brings together the main risks that could prevent your organisation from achieving its strategic objectives, as well as setting out a set of control measures to prevent or mitigate those risks. Your BAF also identifies what you need to do to close any gaps that might prevent you from achieving your objectives. A BAF will also help to ensure that your board knows what it needs to know. It should help to shape the board’s agenda and work programme and help to focus their scrutiny where it’s most needed.
How can GGI support us with our BAF?
GGI will facilitate workshops to identify and quantify the strategic risks you face. Then we will co-produce your BAF in a way that ensures you fully understand the process. And we will help you to maximise its potential as a powerful tool for board-level scrutiny.
