Independent executive assurance over accountability,
decision-making and oversight.
When technology spending, supplier performance or delivery decisions lack clear ownership, the board needs to understand how technology is actually governed.
I examine decision rights, investment governance, supplier oversight, risk reporting and the evidence used by accountable leaders. My experience includes formalising technology risk management and executive operational reporting in regulated investment management. See the career examples.
WHEN THIS ASSIGNMENT IS USEFUL
Who owns the decisions and the risks?
SCOPE
What the review covers.
OUTPUT
Decision-ready executive assurance.
What you receive
Executive findings on ownership, oversight and decision-making; material gaps and their business consequences; and prioritised actions identifying the decisions and responsibilities that need attention.
The findings distinguish evidence from assumptions. Scope, participants, access, deliverables and fees are agreed before the review.
Engagement basis
✓ Defined scope
✓ Agreed evidence base
✓ Executive findings
✓ Prioritised recommendations
NEED ONGOING OWNERSHIP INSTEAD?
If the findings call for continuing executive ownership, we can discuss a leadership mandate. If your leaders retain ownership and need challenge on the next decision, advisory may fit.
Discuss the review you need. Bring the decision, deadline and the evidence available.
Commissioning the review
We establish the question, the evidence and access available, and who needs the findings. I then confirm whether the review can be supported and propose the agreed work, timing and fee.
