ADVISORY & EXECUTIVE SUPPORT
Strategic Counsel
We provide trusted advisory support to CEOs and executive teams during periods of heightened risk, disruption, and strategic uncertainty.
Our work also supports executive teams in advance of crises, helping them test and assure the structures they may rely on during major incidents. This includes stress-testing governance, business continuity, and crisis leadership arrangements, so executives are confident in how they engage with command structures and maintain strategic oversight.
EXECUTIVE READINESS
Executive Readiness and Assurance
We support executive teams to clearly define and discharge their role during incidents and major disruptive events. This includes maintaining strategic oversight, setting intent, resolving organisational barriers, and managing the wider consequences of the incident or event.
Our work helps executives understand how they engage with crisis command structures without duplicating them, ensuring clarity around authority, escalation, decision-making, and strategic direction while incident leadership teams focus on response and recovery.
ASSURANCE & STRESS TESTING
Testing Crisis Governance and Business Continuity Arrangements
We work with organisations to test and assure the governance, crisis leadership, and business continuity arrangements that executives may need to rely on during disruption.
This can include board-level sessions, scenario-based discussion, or focused stress-testing of escalation routes, decision rights, continuity assumptions, and information flows, providing executives with confidence that arrangements are coherent, understood, and credible before they are needed.
CONFIDENTIAL CRISIS SUPPORT
Confidential Support During Live Incidents and Disruptive Events
During major incidents and periods of sustained disruption, executive teams are often required to operate at pace while managing complex, competing demands. We provide independent advisory support that complements existing leadership capability, offering additional perspective, structure, and bandwidth at critical moments.
Our role is to help executives maintain strategic focus while incident leadership concentrates on operational delivery.
This can include:
-
Structured support to frame decisions, options, and trade-offs
-
Independent challenge and validation of strategic direction
-
Supporting clarity around priorities, risks, and consequences
-
Advising on stakeholder, regulatory, and government engagement
