Methodology

Most ERM programs produce reports. Ours produce decisions.

A five-step methodology that builds operational ERM capability, from assessment through sustained improvement.

The Kennedy Framework

Five steps to operational ERM.

01 Assess

Evaluate your current ERM maturity, governance, processes, culture, and capability, benchmarked against industry standards.

02 Design

Build or redesign your ERM architecture: governance structure, risk appetite, taxonomy, reporting, and escalation protocols, tailored to your organization.

03 Quantify

Layer in financial quantification for your most material risks so leadership can prioritize by dollar-denominated impact, not subjective severity.

04 Implement

Stand up the program alongside your team, launch governance cadences, train risk owners, configure technology, and run initial assessment cycles.

05 Sustain

Design monitoring and continuous improvement mechanisms, KRI dashboards, program health metrics, and feedback loops that keep the program relevant.
