ECL Route 1
Diagnose The Risk
Independent insight into leadership, succession, culture and capability risk.
When This Route Is Useful
When The Signals Are Visible, But The Priority Is Not Yet Clear
Leadership, succession and culture risks rarely present neatly. Boards may see individual warning signs, but not yet have a sufficiently joined-up view of what is driving them, where the greatest exposure sits or what should be prioritised first.
Diagnose the Risk creates an independent, evidence-led view of the issues that matter most, bringing together workforce evidence, senior insight and organisational context so decisions can be made with greater clarity.
Approach
How The Route Works
The core sequence is defined. The depth of evidence, stakeholder input and facilitation is scoped proportionately to the organisation's context and governance timetable.
Review evidence
Review leadership, succession, culture and workforce evidence.
Interview senior leaders
Test assumptions through focused conversations with senior leaders.
Triangulate findings
Bring the signals together into one independent view of risk and priority.
Prioritise with the Board
Create shared understanding, constructive challenge and decision clarity.
Agree a 90-day plan
Set practical actions, ownership and an assurance rhythm for progress.
Relevant Expertise
Expertise ECL May Draw On
The result is not another assessment for its own sake. It is a clearer view of the material risks, agreed priorities, named ownership and a practical 90-day plan that gives the Board and executive team something concrete to act on.
Start with a clear view of the risk.
Schedule a focused conversation about the leadership, succession, culture or capability question you need to understand.
