Risk management is strategic, multifaceted, and most importantly unique and personal to a business. While some risks, such as safety and compliance requirements, are more proscribed, how a company chooses to build its culture, position itself in the marketplace, and respond to external factors are part of a business’s individual risk management strategy.
And risk management consultancies vary widely. When it comes to partnering with a company to develop a business continuity plan or develop future leaders, you want to choose a firm that shares your goals and values and will do the job well, every single time.
Before you choose a risk management consulting firm, ask yourself these three questions:
This is the easiest place to start. Evaluate your needs as a company and determine where you’d like a little extra help. Look closely at each risk management firm’s website before getting in touch to understand what they truly offer – not just what they’re willing to sell you.
At ACTN Strategies, we offer services in three categories: Operational resilience, cultural transformation, and global intelligence. Simply put, we can help your business develop the tools needed to thrive during disruption, address workplace challenges before they become painful and costly, and offer insights into external affairs ahead of major leadership decisions.
Read reviews and ask around! What is the risk management firm known for? How have they performed for previous and current clients? Here’s what our clients have to say about ACTN Strategies:
“They will get in the trenches; they will do the work alongside you.”
