Regulatory Change Management
Regulatory change, delivered to the deadline
For financial institutions working through a crowded regulatory agenda. Senior practitioners from Ace work in small teams alongside yours, from strategy through to delivery.
The landscape does not hold still
Staying in control while still delivering to strategic goals is the hard part. Political, environmental and economic pressure is one layer. New laws and regulations are another.
New law, old process
New demands land on existing policies, processes and technology. Some require innovation in data and technology, not an adjustment.
The three-year plan is over
Strategy has to be stable and flexible at once. Early execution, early results, strategic direction still clear.
Data drives the plan
Regulatory requirements are data requirements. Planning starts from what the data has to say.
Control is contested
Senior management feels the deadline and the quality bar. Delivery teams often read control as a bad word.
Regulatory and management reporting
The number of financial disclosures is extensive and it differs per competent authority. Beyond reporting, decisions depend on timely, accurate, fact-based data.
Scaled Agile in a regulatory context
Expectations from the regulating bodies are continuous and demanding. Many institutions are moving to Scaled Agile delivery at the same time.
No trade-offs left
Quality and time both hold. Neither one gives way to the other any more.
Agile is exploratory
The work is defined iteratively. The trade-off is not knowing exactly where you will land, or when.
Stable and dynamic
Truly agile organisations learn to be both. Nowhere is stability more important than in the regulatory context.
Scaled Agile takes time
Agile itself is not the issue. It cannot be implemented overnight, and the move needs managing until roles and responsibilities are understood naturally.
How we work
A multi-layered approach at executive level and delivery level, and orchestration of the interactions between the two.
Align the stakeholders
Traction and buy-in come from alignment, not from a plan document. Supervisors, shareholders, business partners, employees, suppliers and clients, all of them first.
Fit the approach
Top down and bottom up, your experience and ours together. Built to fit, not lifted off a shelf.
Work shoulder to shoulder
Small teams inside your organisation rather than beside it, facilitating business transition from the outset. We know how to embed change, and which leadership and communication styles hold up in multi-disciplinary, high pressure environments.
Orchestrate the chain
From the executive through to the team, and the interactions between the two. Complex programmes orchestrated within the context of Agile, with no additional empire built alongside yours.
Weigh maturity against delivery
We know when to prioritise maturity over delivery, and when to reverse it. Implementation is customised against your requirements, your maturity and your ambition.
