Testimonials
We’re proud to work with a variety of professional businesses across the UK.
Have a look at what they have to say about the Risk Dashboard.
I asked my client for his thoughts about the Risk Dashboard report and he said “Thanks for the risk assessment – I found it very useful, as it does pick up some areas that would not have been covered by the normal checks”
So altogether it was a very worthwhile exercise with a satisfied client, and I will happily recommend Risk Dashboard to my colleagues in Xeinadin Group.

The idea of a compliance dashboard sounded appealing for us as an SME. We were introduced to Neil Campbell who I found to be so enthusiastic about the product it really opened our mind to the potential. The Risk Dashboard is very easy to use, easy on the eye with a clear red / amber / green dashboard showing where you are as a company and which areas you need to focus on. The initial ‘audit’ took approximately an hour, time well spent talking through a variety of questions. Going forward we believe this will assist in continual improvement throughout the business. I would recommend the product particularly to any company who wants to focus on areas of risk and compliance and who want to keep track as to where they are.

I have been very impressed, not only with the Risk Dashboard product but with the speed and flexibility with which Neil and the team have been able to adapt to changing risks in the last two years.
I love that the focus of the tool is not only on identifying risks but helping point the user towards appropriate solutions.
One of the best features of Risk Dashboard is that it’s modular. We only needed to answer the questions in areas that applied to our business. Our initial audit took only 45 minutes to complete. Without a doubt the best 45 minutes I’ve spent this year. So simple to use but so powerful.
I was pleased to see how we survived our initial audit after the attention we’ve given managing risk over the last few years but there were still some very useful pointers for us to improve further.
It has been a very powerful tool for demonstrating the hard work that’s gone into risk management here to the board and to highlight the next areas of focus.
We will definitely be recommending this to our clients. There’s no better endorsement than that.
James Stewart
Chief Operating Officer
Risk Dashboard is a very easy-to-use, intuitive tool with very good graphics and presentation of information. We used Risk Dashboard to establish a comprehensive view of our own risk areas where we need to take action but also in taking a high-level view of potential acquisition targets before detailed due diligence on behalf of our clients. The way in which the dashboard separates out the key areas of a business is extremely powerful and helps marshal thinking and plans for further investigation and activity.

For many companies our size, they are aware of the key risks to their business, and usually have the basics covered, but as they grow and evolve, like us, they find themselves looking at their policies & procedures and asking- do we have all risks covered?
After all, how-do businesses get to know, what they don’t know when it comes to risk? The answer is – go to the Risk Dashboard and complete the audit.
It’s a simple process, and beautifully crafted to assess your awareness of the risks to your business. Once completed, the audit report is clear and detailed, displaying actions in a traffic light system to easily help any business prioritise its tasks.
If you need help, the system includes an Information library and resources to help with completion of actions, plus a section on Insurance for saving policies and data within the system which is useful.
The Risk Dashboard system has become an invaluable tool within our management control system, and we would thoroughly recommend it to any forward-thinking business looking to become operationally resilient.

Intergage
As a small charity it is absolutely vital for us to have a clear understanding of our areas of risk and how to mitigate them. Completing the Risk Dashboard with members of both the trustee board and the charities leadership team was a useful exercise. It enabled us to have some rich conversations about our areas of risk and to agree strategies to help reduce those risks. For a small charity this has been invaluable, we have been able to reach out to experts in the areas we don’t have the experience or skills in.
The colour coding and visuals of the Risk Dashboard meant it was easy to understand and accessible. The guidance and resources provided are extremely useful, it has enabled us to move forward quickly and efficiently. I would thoroughly recommend Risk Dashboard to all small charities and SME’s, it has allowed MYTIME to become a more mature and effective organisation.

“Risk Dashboard is a powerful self-audit tool. The depth and breadth of the modules cover key areas of risk, governance and compliance that overall offer the means to provide a company health check. More importantly, with its prioritised action list and comprehensive on line guidance and recourse to trusted experts, it is a resource for continuous improvement. The ability to focus on a module and delegate responsibility within the business is very useful.
I particularly appreciate the visual representation of the results which helps to deliver the message and focus the team on areas that require attention”

“On the whole I found the risk dashboard exercise extremely worthwhile.
As the office manager of an SME business there are a lot of policies for which I am responsible.
Doing an exercise such as this has given me the confidence to know what we are doing right and the areas that need attention.
I found the process to be very thorough and although there were a few sections that did not apply to us, it was clearly marked which sections were compulsory and which were optional.
I did need support from other areas such as our insurance brokers and the finance department to answer certain sections.
I found it handy that you can leave the audit and come back to it at later time without losing your answers. It was also useful that you can change your answers at any time before submitting the audit and that you can review your answers once the audit is completed.
In total the entire audit took around 3 hours, though I do believe this was time well spent.
On the whole the site was very easy to navigate round.
It reminded me to update our health and safety policy and risk assessments and has encouraged me to learn more about GDPR. I found it to be a very worthwhile exercise.”
Claire Murphy
Office Manager
Champions (UK) Plc
“The Risk Dashboard provided a great insight into our operational compliance.
When I was introduced to the Risk Dashboard, you naturally assume that all aspects of your business are aligned when it comes to risk and compliance management.
The modular platform broken down into operating area’s allowed me to focus in on the business. The audit interface was easy to navigate, the results where clean and clear to understand, and I particularly appreciated the resources built into the Dashboard to help me work through identified areas of improvement. I am visual and being able to see and control all areas of compliance in one place makes the job a lot easier.
I would recommend the Risk Dashboard to any SME business looking to become more secure and resilient.”

“The Risk Dashboard helped identify where we needed to improve our overall BiD operations.
Having been the BiD Director for a short-period of time, the audit of our operations provided me with an overall risk perspective, as well as tasks to focus on for improvement. I can also see this platform helping me manage resilience and to develop risk strategies to the businesses within Romford BiD area, which I would expect could lead to improved economic development. An insightful risk/audit application.”

“I was introduced to the Risk Dashboard by Justin Richardson at the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce and I liked the power of the platform straight away. It allowed me to understand and evaluate risks to the rugby club by completing the initial audit, and then provided me with solutions to correct areas of ‘non-compliance’ that I wasn’t aware of. I’ve also been shown how I can get in touch with local experts for help if I need it, which is a very nice feature. I would certainly recommend other businesses to use the Risk Dashboard.”

Risk Dashboard
As part of our commitment to our members, Wandsworth Chamber are constantly looking for innovative ideas and solutions, that can assist our members to develop their businesses and provide robust solutions that are of genuine value.
Accordingly, our partnership with Risk Dashboard now provides our members a business audit, guidance and task management system that focuses on a number of key business objectives, including;
- Operational Risk Management
- Delivering Solutions to areas of ‘non-compliance’ with selected member partners
- Identifying areas of potential business growth
- Document storage and repository
For more information on how your business can use Risk Dashboard to map legal compliance and minimise risk, visit the Wandsworth Chamber website or email: steve@wandsworthchamber.org
Battersea Power Station Development was asked to trial the new risk management tool as part of our continuing engagement with the local community and council through Commerce Wandsworth and the Chamber.
This forum is there to support new and existing Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as they set up and expand within the borough.
The Risk Management tool trialled, Risk Dashboard, aims to assist businesses to better understand the risks they face and provides output in the form of recommendations to address noted gaps in governance, regulations and compliance over a broad spectrum of areas including , but not limited to: Information Security; Business Continuity; Financial Reporting; Human Resources; Management Leadership; Business Strategy; Insurance; Health and Safety and Sales and Marketing.
This is a hugely useful tool for businesses that do not have a dedicated ‘Governance or Risk Function’. That being said, not all actions on the reporting function need to be migrated from a compliance standpoint. They are more a guide to best practice and horizon planning to ensure a compliance and risk framework that is fit for purpose over a longer time-frame. This will enable companies themselves to grow and expand, instead of the need to continually re-address key governance areas during this process, particularly when considering that meeting service and customer demands are so critical to business success that the important internal structures and oversight are sometimes overlooked.

Exit Planning 101
Most business owners leave exit planning far too late. By the time they want or need to exit their business, there is inadequate time to prepare the business sale. This either forces them to sell the business for a lot less than they were hoping, they are forced to close the business down, some owners are forced to continue working in their business.
