Environment Sustaianability Governance

Often talked about together, environment, sustainability and governace are three quite seperate consideraions for a Board or organisation. Each requires its own planning and dashboard for progress, and often a graded implementation.

Carbon reporting has become much more important, but not well understood. Let Milthorpe Consulting help with carbon reporting, as well as other Environmental considerations, with Sustainability analysis and alignment of Governance principles suited to the business.

Board Planning Facilitation

Planning sessions should be easy to run? Not when the driver of the planning session also has major input to make. There turns out to be a conflict in roles. An independent facilitator can make the whole rocess much more seamless and straightforward. MilthorpeConsultng has experience as both a facilitator and user of independent facilitation. We understand the what where and how of successful plannng meetings.

Culture Change

Culture change is a process that requires buy-in from all levels of the organisation,and time to learn and acept changes as normal. Milthorpe Consulting can help with planning the various steps for each level of an organisation.

Risk

A lot of risk planning should be highly nuanced, but may well be reduced to a nearly useless 3x3 or 4x4 matrix. Milthorpe Consulting can help with risk planning and assessment, especially if the Board doesn't have a sophisticated Risk Committee.

Difficult personnel

Difficult personnel add to the complexity of a team or an oranisation. Sometines they are necessary. Sometimes they are disruptive. Sometimes both. Over 20 years experience both as a senior union representative and a senior manager have allowed me to develop skills to assist in the complex cost-benefit assessment for difficult personnel and to approach solutions in a nuanced manner.
