Organisations large and small appreciate the practical and no-nonsense approach Applied Wisdom brings to distilling a clear focus for improvement, identifying and planning achievable changes, and delivering meaningful results.

Risk identification, mitigation + management

Risk registers are often done at the start of a change process and then put on a shelf until it's too late.

We see it differently. We've spent years of straddling all types of organisation, from highly-regulated public sector bodies to early-stage startups and everything in between. Risks are real, as are opportunities - though risks are often treated as passive compared to the excitement of hunting down opportunities.

If recent years have taught us anything, it is that being ready for the unexpected - whether risk or opportunity - can be the difference between a slow descent or being one of the few safe or even stellar performers.

We'll work with you and your leaders to introduce a couple of extra dimensions into your risk and opportunity management. We'll do it in fast, visual ways, giving you a clear strategy and plan of action for all your major risks.

We'll save you from wasting time on things you can't hope to change, help you find strength in numbers for the industry- or market-wide shifts around you, and create focus on your areas of strength. Short-sharp sessions, group workshops and ongoing review and support services for you and your team turn risk management into opportunity management.

Delivery support

As part of "get clear, get organised and get outcomes", our speciality is shorter or part-time projects, where we can create impact, uplift your people's capability and then let you get on with it.

But we love working with clients to make sure the designs actually deliver your target outcomes.

We frequently work with clients and their people beyond just the thinking, analysis and design work. Our programme delivery and people-focused support has included:

• Capability building - uplifting people' skills and experience in relevant areas
• Business cases - assisting with, challenging or writing business cases for change + investment
• Requirements documentation - turning business needs into clear functional requirements
• RFPs + Vendor selection - advocating for you through major procurements
• Quality Assurance - acting as a "conscience" for delivery work, with lightweight approaches
• Solution design - building on software development and systems integration experience
• Retrospectives - running learning reviews for teams at key points in the delivery journey
• Product pitches - for internal communications or investor pitches
• And many more
