Consultancy
 
Through research we help our clients understand the risks and opportunities they face from weather and climate change. The next step is to assess their organisational capability in dealing with them, both now and in the future.
 
We have developed our own methodology to assess organisational readiness, which analyses capability in ten key areas of business activity:
 
Intelligence, Leadership, Impact Assessment, Strategy and Policy, Resource Allocation, Mitigation, Adaption, Benchmarking, Communication and Sustainability.
 
Assessments allow clients to:
 
  • Identify internal strengths and external good practice
  • Define areas for development
  • Improve readiness
  • Support communication activity
  • Measure progress
 
This assessment methodology has also been used to develop a robust assessment tool for Local Government. National Indicator 188 is aimed at increasing readiness for climate change within Local Government. Our assessment tool helps them to identify which level of NI 188 they are currently performing at, as well as detailing what is needed to attain the next level.
