Capability in compliance roles goes beyond technical knowledge of regulation. It includes the professional judgement, confidence, and practical skills required to interpret regulatory requirements, advise the business, and support sound decision-making in complex environments.
Our capability pillar focuses on developing those responsible for guiding the organisation on compliance matters - including compliance officers, risk and governance professionals, and those in advisory or oversight roles. We support compliance practitioners to move from rule interpretation to meaningful influence, enabling them to engage effectively with stakeholders, prioritise risk, and embed compliance into business practice.
What we mean by Capability
Who is this for?
Our capability development services are designed for professionals responsible for guiding the organisation on compliance, risk, and governance matters, including:
-
Compliance officers and compliance practitioners

Risk management and governance professionals
-
Individuals in advisory, oversight, or second-line roles

Professionals supporting regulatory, conduct, or control frameworks
This pillar is suited to those who are expected to interpret requirements, exercise professional judgement, and influence decision-making across the organisation.

Our approach
Our capability work is grounded in an understanding of the realities faced by compliance and risk professionals. These roles require more than technical knowledge, they demand professional judgement, confidence, and the ability to influence decision-making across the organisation.
We begin by understanding the regulatory context, organisational environment, and the specific challenges faced by the team or individual. From there, we design development interventions that are practical, relevant, and aligned to real responsibilities, whether through structured programmes, targeted workshops, or bespoke advisory support.
Our approach balances technical depth with applied learning, ensuring that compliance and risk professionals are equipped not only to understand requirements, but to interpret them, prioritise risk, and guide the business effectively in complex, regulated environments.
How Capability fits into our broader work
Our capability pillar sits at the centre of our integrated approach. While our compliance services focus on training regulatory requirements into the business, and our leadership services focus on developing leaders who create environments where compliance can thrive, capability development strengthens those responsible for guiding the organisation on compliance and risk matters.
By developing the professional judgement, confidence, and influence of compliance and risk practitioners, this pillar enables compliance training to be applied effectively and supports leaders in making informed, accountable decisions. Together, our compliance, capability, and leadership pillars work as a connected system to support sustainable, organisation-wide compliance.
