FRACTIONAL CONSULTING

Are you looking for a flexible and affordable way to quickly bring in additional real-world expertise, skills, and knowledge?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If so, this is where our CHAORDIC PILOT™ Service might be able to assist - an extra pair of safe-hands or possibly just someone independent to share, debate and develop ideas with.

We tailor your fractional service to meet your unique, specific requirements covering whatever you need from us. This might be for a specific number of days per month or maybe a small retainer arrangement where ad-hoc advice and guidance is provided, as and when needed.

Your CHAORDIC PILOT™ Service will be:

• FLEXIBLE: enabling you to move away from the rigidity and prescriptive behaviours of more traditional support services… enjoy complete flexibility to change and adapt in line with your changing needs and goals;
• RESPONSIVE: protecting you from cold, impersonal and overtly commercially driven arrangements… benefit from an ongoing relationship with someone you trust, that wants to passionately help with your business and its challenges, and can respond quickly to leverage upon this when needed;
• COST-EFFECTIVE: allowing you to be in control of the level of support you need… together we manage your service via a regular review session during which we look at how things have gone, confirm or refine areas of focus and agree next steps/actions for the coming period.

Our Senior Director, Robert Toogood, is a critical friend to CFOs, CIOs and executive teams, who enjoys partnering with organisations facing digital risk and resilience challenges, particularly where compliance remediation, programme turnaround or governance gaps requires independent, senior-level expertise. Operating on a flexible, fractional basis for over ten years, he brings proven capabilities in technology and programme risk management with a focus on pragmatic solutions and hands-on delivery.

Robert's real-world compliance remediation and turnaround experience spans over thirty years, based on a successful systems and project management career working on digital transformation and M&A programmes with clients across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Prior to that, he started his career in the banking sector when he worked for NatWest Bank and SG Warburg before spending time in other highly regulated sectors such as financial services and healthcare.

His broad digital risk and resilience experience begins in 2002, initially with Johnson & Johnson and their business continuity activities within the UK (and later involvement with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance and pandemic planning preparations). Since then, his experience expanded with many other clients into areas such as data governance, compliance, privacy (including GDPR), data analytics, cyber, third-party risk management (TPRM), holistic GRC, and artificial intelligence. Also, as part of a commitment to lifelong learning, he has recently completed an AI Leadership Skills Bootcamp at the University of Portsmouth and is now preparing to take the IAPP AIGP: Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional certification exam to further demonstrate his competency in this area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This breadth and depth of experience allows him to seamlessly transition between different roles within an assignment when needed, from strategic advising to hands-on execution.

Robert believes very strongly in the importance of working in partnership and not in isolation from his clients; listening to their needs and not imposing pre-conceived solutions, taking time to properly understand the context in which they operate and only then, using his experience to provide innovative solutions and support.
