I help COOs & CROs of Global Financial Institutions reduce the cost of control by in excess of £1.5m annually through building and leading high-performing, commercially-focussed and courageous risk and control functions

I've recently been working with Johnny Walker to create a positioning statement to explain what I do. Difficult to narrow down when you've had a diverse career. But it boils down to this, everything we do either contributes to generating output (revenue), managing costs, or managing risk. In my earlier military career it was very much about all three. Latterly I've been mostly helping to manage risk, but possibly more importantly, I've always been about sensible and appropriate risk taking rather than over control. This has manifested in me helping to reduce the cost of control. So my first shot at a 5P (Person, Place, Purpose, Performance, Process) positioning statement is this: I help COOs & CROs of Global Financial Institutions reduce the cost of control by in excess of £1.5m annually through building and leading high-performing, commercially-focussed and courageous, risk and control functions. #5PFormula

Hi Paul, Like your 5P statement - clear and focused. I'm inspired (!) to have a go at my own one. I think the effort to make it meaningful and not waffle is significant.
