Advisers reviewing a project risk health check beside a live capital programme

Project Risk Health Check

Find the exposure before it becomes the outcome.

An independent, decision-focused review of risk maturity, critical exposure, governance, ownership, and response actions.

Project Risk Health Check

Find the exposure before it becomes the outcome.

Owners, sponsors, programme directors, PMOs, and contractors who need a clear view of whether project risk management is helping the delivery decision.

We start with the decision and work backwards to the evidence, the people, and the controls required to make it defensible. The scope is proportionate to the consequence and designed to remain useful after the engagement.

Common triggers

  • A governance gate is approaching and risk reporting is not decision-ready
  • Material exposure is known but ownership or response is unclear
  • A new leadership team needs an independent baseline quickly
  • A programme needs to understand risk maturity before scaling delivery

Where we help

  • Structured review of risk process, taxonomy, appetite, and ownership
  • Interviews and focused workshops with decision-makers and delivery teams
  • Review of risk, cost, schedule, change, claims, and governance interfaces
  • Prioritised heat map of material exposure and response gaps
  • Practical 30/60/90-day improvement plan with accountable owners
Advice should leave a decision behind.

We make assumptions, dependencies, owners, and next actions visible so the work can move into governance and delivery.

What changes

A stronger view of the next move.

The output is not activity for its own sake. It is greater confidence in what to protect, what to challenge, and what to do next.

01

A shared baseline of risk maturity and material exposure

02

Clearer escalation thresholds and decision rights

03

A prioritised response plan that can enter the next governance cycle

04

Evidence for deciding where deeper quantitative analysis is warranted

Frequently asked questions

A clear start to the conversation.

These answers describe how we typically begin. The right scope depends on the decision and context.

What does a typical engagement include?

We agree the decision, evidence, scope, outputs, and governance route at the outset. The work may be a focused review, a workshop-led assessment, or support through an active decision gate.

How quickly can you help?

Timing depends on the decision and the evidence available. Use the contact form to describe the urgency and we will respond with a proportionate next step.

Will the work replace our existing advisers?

Usually not. We work alongside existing teams and advisers, adding an independent view where the decision, record, or accountability needs greater clarity.
