Transforming your business
We have seen risk management done well and we have seen it done poorly. We have been at the pointy end of making the transformation from one to the other.
We know what it takes to move from this
to this. And we know the benefits it delivers.
Risk management done poorly
Is an after-thought compliance exercise
Focuses on filling out spreadsheets and repetitive reviews
Distracts the front line with a barrage of disconnected audits
Doesn’t offer visibility of the big picture
Doesn’t inform and support organisational strategy
Risk management done well
Is at the core of everything an organisation does
Provides a competitive advantage by seeing around corners
Enables the right risks to be taken at the right time in the right way
Empowers organisations to dare – taking big bets for the future with guardrails in place
Our philosophy
At ERM International, we believe risk can be a powerful strategic enabler. Going beyond threat minimisation, our risk philosophy centres on helping organisations to achieve three key goals:
Protect
Their value
of today
Grow
Their value
for tomorrow
Anticipate
What’s coming over
the horizon
Combining data-driven insights with innovative thinking and senior risk expertise, we offer services to bring risk to life and unlock its strategic and operational value in your business.
Our clients may also be able to gain early-stage access to a unique new risk software, 6th Sense Risk. Designed and developed by our founder, Anthony Reardon, alongside a partnership of data and technology experts, 6th Sense wants to revolutionise the way risk is used in your business.

Hear from our clients
“We engaged ERM International (based on a positive referral) to review our Business Continuity and Crisis Management Framework and supporting documentation. I have found the ERM team to be a breath of fresh air to work with. They listened to us and understood our scope of work and presented a practical and simple solution to our problem. Using their wealth of industry experience, they integrated themselves within the organization, working alongside our operational teams, gaining their buy-in, building confidence in the subject and delivering tangible results. They have demonstrated foresight and flexibility by suggesting amendments to our initial scope that would benefit the organization and in my opinion, we have received more than we initially envisioned. Their service has definitely exceed my expectations. I would definitely work with ERM International again and would recommend their services to others.”
Erika Allen Risk Director“I had been tasked with transforming and maturing enterprise risk management in a fast paced, dynamic environment. I needed help in doing this in a meaningful way, which would engage management and really feel tailored to our business. I came across Anthony on a webinar as I was researching ideas and loved the way he talked about risk management, it was practical, engaging and far removed from the typical approaches and theory I’ve seen. Clearly, here was someone who had actually done it in organisations and really understood what it takes to bring risk management to life. Anthony really understood the unique culture and industry we have and operate within and how to tap into it, despite not being an industry expert in our field. We did all this remotely too and that didn’t cause us any issues. I would always use ERM International in future because of this pragmatic, adaptable way of working and fundamentally they are also really nice people, clearly experts who are genuinely focused on working with you as a critical friend and are in it for the long game”.
Ruth Brouder Director of Risk, UK FTSE 250“I have worked with the team from ERM International since 2021 and they have helped me to revolutionise my risk and resilience strategies by focusing on simple yet highly effective tools and practices to support the business. The ideas and solutions they provide are based on examples and experiences that bring their work to life. This evidence-based approach delivers clarity and direction not just for risk teams, but most importantly, the frontline. They’re also a lot of fun to work with!”

“Working with ERM helped me and my team experience just how valuable and strategically important risk management can be. After decades of only having compliance-based, administrative, and frustratingly slow(!) risk conversations centred on mitigating threats in an operational environment, this was a breath of fresh air. Having Anthony and the ERM team working as part of our team helped to build our risk capability at the same time as we refashioned our operating model. After several years of trying to build something that managed risk effectively, with ERM’s support we were able to put risk thinking at the centre of our decision-making process and design something that had the potential to enable us to truly grasp opportunities while also protecting the business from threats.”
