Nobody goes to work just to comply with what a regulator wants, and in a world where the regulators themselves are under siege for poor performance and flawed methodologies, to do so would be foolish as well as pointless.

The best modern governance needs to achieve more than just regulatory compliance and control; it needs to deliver outcomes like legitimacy and value creation. The regulated, at least, have in their gift the ability to make preparing for a regulator a genuinely useful exercise and not just the ticking of an otherwise pointless box.

GGI’s expert guidance, honed over more than a decade and a half working in many different regulatory contexts, will make sure you gain the strategic insight and practical support needed to not just meet the standards set by your regulator but make the exercise worthwhile too.

We work with organisations to help them think about and prepare for regulators with a more dynamic ‘apply and explain’ rather than ‘comply or explain’ approach, the latter of which can place too much emphasis on a passive tick-box mindset.

Whether you operate in healthcare, education, arts, local government, or the third sector, our team of experienced professionals can help.

We have a long and proven track record of helping organisations like yours exceed the requirements of regulators, including the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Ofwat, the Office for Students, The Arts Council, the Charity Commission, the Gambling Commission, and Sport England.

Our tailored professional support services include:

  • Avoiding own-goals: we know the current preoccupations of regulators and can help you work through issues to help you address your own ‘known unknowns’.
  • Regulatory compliance audits: we’ll identify gaps in your current compliance status and provide actionable recommendations to align with the latest standards.
  • Strategy development: helping you to create a comprehensive strategy that goes beyond regulatory requirements while driving organisational growth and innovation.
  • Training and workshops: we’ll equip your team with the knowledge and tools to confidently navigate the regulatory environment.
  • Ongoing support: tap into our expertise to benefit from continuous guidance and support to maintain compliance as regulations evolve.

Partnering with us will ensure your organisation remains compliant, credible, and ahead of the curve. Don’t leave your reputation to chance—work with experts who understand the nuances of your industry and can help you build lasting, positive relationships with regulators.

Ready to elevate your compliance approach? Contact us to discover how we can support your journey beyond mere regulatory compliance towards genuine good governance that delivers meaningful outcomes.

GGI quickly understood our requirements and were able to apply considerable experience of similar assignments to help us refine our approach. The review has given us invaluable insight that is helping to shape our future strategy and informing our approach to stakeholder relationships.

Your feedback

The report received was not uncritical but encouraged an open response that was not defensive and has led on to a separate piece of work to further clarify the effect of delegations, with a view to giving all parties greater confidence that matters are being dealt with appropriately.
