Products & Services

RISK ASSESSMENT

We support clients with detailed and rigorous understanding of their risks, particularly Geo-Political and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks, while keeping sight of related risks, such as security – and the linkages between them.

STRATEGY EXECUTION

We work with our clients to design an integrated strategy to enable the transfer, treatment, toleration or termination of risks and to assist with the execution of the strategy. Our rigorous approach to strategy design is drawn from the established military methodology of campaign planning – combined with sector, regional and technical expertise – and widely accepted Balanced Scorecard methodology, to execute strategy and to measure its effectiveness.

BUILDING RESILIENCE – WAR GAMING

We use War Gaming to stress-test and evaluate plans against different scenarios, to expose unidentified risks and potential opportunities.

BUILDING RESILIENCE – CRISIS MANAGEMENT

We test and, if required, design crisis management plans for organisations – to help them plan for and resolve major crisis events that threaten the reputational, commercial and strategic interests of an organisation.

CYBER

Strategia integrates the technical and non-technical elements of cyber security into its analysis and recommendations, providing insights and solutions that align with assessed threats, vulnerabilities and current best-practice. We tailor teams of experts and partners to support a project or can provide an experienced cyber lead where the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a client’s information and processes, or data protection, are identified as key risks.

“We have a global network of associates carefully chosen for their regional, sector and technical expertise. This combination of diverse experience, underpinned by our rigorous methodology, enables us to work with clients in the most complex environments, understanding, managing and treating risks, which may not always be apparent to the boardroom.”

Co-Founder General Sir Richard ShirreffNATO’s Ex-Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe

“Strategia is different from other risk management companies because unlike the traditional - audit led - process, we link risk to strategy. We also believe that risk can't be addressed in ‘silos’ as too often it is the combination of risks that are the most toxic.”
