Practical Start is a structured and configurable consulting engagement that rapidly builds an organisation’s onboarding pathway to resilience.

Our approach starts by understanding where you are now. We assess your current-state strategic intent, strategy execution status, and governance and operational capabilities. This provides a clear view of what can be achieved in the short term, while building a practical roadmap toward your longer-term resilience objectives.

Practical Start uses self-assessment and audit-style questionnaires to support the current state assessment. These tools help identify existing strengths, gaps, evidence, and improvement opportunities. Wherever possible, we seek to maximise the reuse and repurposing of current capabilities to support the implementation of your target state.

Most global resilience, sustainability and ESG frameworks share a common principle: focus on what is important and material to your organisation’s success. Practical Start supports this by providing access to a library of resilience outcome statements and success measure definitions. Your target state is developed by selecting, adapting or creating the resilience outcomes that best reflect your organisation’s priorities, and then integrating those outcomes into your current strategic intent.

The Practical Start engagement is completed by profiling viable implementation options and developing an Action Plan for the option you select. This Action Plan provides a practical, staged pathway for building the capabilities, measures and governance needed to strengthen resilience and support long-term organisational success.
