The Time Factor

The Time Factor

Risk transformations often take two to three years of dedicated effort, with enterprise-wide transformations typically taking three to five years. While transformation setups differ, most have a central program team of five to ten full-time equivalents (FTEs) for smaller transformations, with holistic risk transformations running central teams of 15 to 50 FTEs that focus on coordination, tracking, quality assurance, sharing of best practices, and support for the most challenging problems, including the coordinated delivery of change across business areas and functions.

The Question Is How

The biggest challenge in starting a risk transformation is often not the “why” or the “what,” but the “how.” Questions include how to set it up and conclude it, and then transition back to enhanced business as usual.
