Better decisions
under uncertainty.
A strategic risk consultancy, working alongside the people responsible for seeing the whole picture.
What we do
Working with uncertainty.
We help risk teams work more deliberately with uncertain conditions: reading emerging change, testing the assumptions beneath current strategy, and exploring what may affect longer-term viability.
This is not a new framework to adopt or another process to manage. It works through the conversations and governance already in place, helping strategic risk stay connected to live decisions and the conditions shaping the organisation's future.

Our approach
Three Horizons,
applied to risk.
We draw on Three Horizons to read what is at play in a strategic landscape: the dominant patterns being maintained, the future conditions already emerging, and the transition dynamics unfolding between them.
Applied to strategic risk, it brings three present-tense patterns into view:
H1
Today's dominant pattern
Risks running through the current model, operating assumptions and ways of working.
H3
Future pattern of viability
Emerging conditions and forms of value that may reshape what remains possible, valuable or legitimate over time.
H2
Transition dynamics
Change already underway, including tensions, innovations and adaptations that may either extend the current pattern or help create the conditions for a different one.
Our work with Bill Sharpe, one of the originators of Three Horizons and founder of Future Stewards, helps keep our application of the framework grounded in the underlying practice. For organisations wanting to build this capability internally, we collaborate with Future Stewards to provide practitioner-level Three Horizons training.
