Pioneering Risk Solutions

---

I work with you to design tailored enterprise risk management (ERM) solutions that help you identify, control and clearly communicate the risks that could prevent you from achieving your business objectives.

I start with a practical review of your current risk framework, supported by interviews with owners/ board directors and frontline teams. I then provide a clear report outlining material risks, gaps, and prioritised recommendations to strengthen controls, governance and decision-making.

Once your Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework has identified the crictical risks and set your risk appetite (what you will and won’t accept), I translate that into the day-to-day management system standards, procedures and behaviours people follow on site.

I help you design tailored procedures and tools that operationalise your ERM controls and provide evidence of due diligence, aligned to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), AS/NZS ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 31000, and applicable work health and safety and environmental legislation.  I can work with your teams to implement the changes, so the system is adopted, not just written. 

Audit and assurance is how you demonstrate your systems are working in practice. I  can work with you to test whether your critical controls are effective in the field, whether teams are following the procedures that flow from your risk appetite, and whether actions are being closed out properly. 

My approach integrates leadership engagement, risk-based auditing, control verification, and action tracking to deliver clear, defensible reporting and assurance; this helps, build confidence at all levels, that standards are being met and risk is being effectively managed. 

I offer independent investigation services. I have  over 16 years of experience conducting factual investigations into serious incidents, working with some of Australia’s leading workplace relations and safety lawyers to establish what happened and why, based on evidence, not assumptions.

I understand the sensitivity of these events. I work directly with you and, where required, your legal advisors to manage witnesses and evidence, produce clear factual findings, and identify practical actions that prevent recurrence and strengthen critical controls.

When your strategy shifts or a major project starts, your risk profile changes (often faster than your controls and ways of working can keep up!). 

Pioneering Risk Solutions supports you from the outset by applying an enterprise risk lens.  We work with you confirm objectives, identify your critical risks, controls and key dependencies, and set clear risk appetite for delivery (what you will and won’t accept). This is then translated into practical control requirements and accountabilities. We help you develop critical controls, contractor/SIMOPS interfaces, escalation triggers, and implementation plans, so the project team can execute with clear boundaries and consistent decisions under schedule and cost pressure.  

We provide practical, on-the-ground secondment support to keep your business moving while you recruit or mobilise. We step into operational and project-facing roles to stabilise day-to-day risk and WHS requirements, without creating corporate overhead.

Whether you need short-term coverage for a vacant position, extra capability during start-up, or experienced support to lift control discipline during a busy period, we embed quickly and focus on what matters: 

• clear priorities
• workable site routines
• contractor/interface control
• action close-out; and
• reporting that leaders can trust.
