FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help organisations balance innovation with risk management?
We see effective risk management as an enabler of innovation rather than a constraint. Some risks are worth taking and others aren’t – the key is identifying which are. We help our clients to create frameworks and controls to distinguish between productive risk taking that drives innovation and unnecessary risk taking. This approach helps you to pursue opportunities with confidence, and know that a structured, calculated approach with appropriate safeguards has been taken.
How does your approach differ from other risk management consultancies?
Other consultancies often use generic templates or frameworks that aren’t tailored to your needs or context. At Allen + Clarke, we develop bespoke solutions that genuinely meet your requirements and emphasise practical implementation. We are also distinct in that we focus on building your internal capability so that we can create a meaningful, lasting impact.
What technology or tools do you use in your risk management approach?
We employ a range of tools including risk assessment software, scenario modelling applications, and stakeholder mapping tools. However, we're tool-agnostic and can work with your existing systems or recommend options that best suit your needs and capabilities. Our focus is on practical usability rather than technological complexity – we ensure any tools recommended genuinely enhance your ability to manage risks effectively without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
Can you help with specific compliance requirements in our industry?
Absolutely. Our team stay current with compliance requirements and regulatory changes across most sectors including healthcare, education, housing, construction, and financial services. We can develop targeted plans that ensure you are meeting your obligations and also build in meaningful safeguards to identify and manage risks.
What’s your approach to identifying emerging risks that we might not be aware of?
We regularly provide information to our clients on emerging risks relevant to their sector and strategic context. We use structured horizon analysis to identify emerging or potential risks and can use cross-sector insights to identify strategic responses.
