Perspectives
Thought pieces exploring risk, operating models, client networks, systemic change and architectural consequences for financial institutions. Topics range from data and design to behaviour, regulation, geopolitics and organisational scale.
Fragmented World
The fracturing of global markets, data sovereignty, supply-chain realignment and regional risk insulation — and how CLM architecture must adapt to distributed, multi-jurisdictional operating environments.
Geopolitical Risk & Systemic Pressure
How shifting blocs, sanctions, illicit finance flows and regulatory fragmentation create exposure for banks — and why networks, ERR data and CNRM matter more than ever.
Avoiding Under-Engineering
Why “good enough for now” becomes structural debt — and how capability must be built with depth, scale and risk-awareness from the outset.
Effective Transformation Programme Design
CLM doesn’t transform through workstreams — it transforms through design. This piece examines how to structure a programme that lands capability, reduces thrash, and drives adoption at scale.
Operating Model Engineering
High-performing CLM does not emerge from operating models that are documented — only those that are engineered. This perspective explores how operating models are designed for specific performance outcomes, and the role of the Operating Model Engineer in structuring flow, controls, decision cadence, data posture and scale so capability performs, not just exists.
