How a 360° Audit unfolds

  • Week 1 — Scoping: kick-off workshop, access to documents, stakeholders identified
  • Weeks 2–3 — Assessment: interviews, document review, scoring by domain
  • Week 4 — Diagnostic: maturity map, breaking points, critical vulnerabilities
  • Weeks 5–6 — Debrief: report, prioritised roadmap, Executive Committee presentation

 

A Diagnostic engagement is the most effective way to build internal consensus around resilience priorities and to demonstrate, quickly, the value of a structured approach.
