Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Independent Governance Assurance
This transition reflects a deliberate shift in how we serve asset owners, aligning our work entirely with independent governance assurance rather than execution.
TacminMadini no longer provides execution, delivery or advisory services. We operate above delivery, providing independent assurance over decisions, authority and exposure where accountability cannot be delegated.
This transition reflects where our work has been heading for some time and responds to the increasing governance, risk and accountability demands placed on owners of complex, capital-intensive and long-life assets.
Built on delivery experience. Grounded in discipline. Applied through assurance.
TacminMadini’s governance assurance capability is grounded in more than three decades of direct execution experience across mining, infrastructure, asset management and project recovery. That experience was earned in complex, high-consequence environments including remote operations, distressed assets and large capital programs where delivery risk was real and outcomes mattered.
That delivery experience now informs how we apply governance assurance.
It provides practical insight into where value is created, where it is quietly lost, and where owner accountability is most exposed as conditions evolve across the asset lifecycle.
What has changed
TacminMadini does not execute projects.
We do not manage delivery teams, perform EPC or EPCM roles, or assume operational responsibility. Instead, we provide independent governance assurance and escalation support, informed by delivery experience but free of delivery incentives.
Our role is to:
Execution remains with delivery teams. Accountability remains with owners. Governance assurance is applied above both.
Why this matters
As projects and assets become more complex, accountability increasingly sits with owners long after execution is delegated. Independent governance assurance is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a necessary capability to protect value, preserve control and ensure decisions and outcomes remain defensible over time.
That is the role TacminMadini now serves exclusively.
Where delivery experience informs governance assurance today
Our historical execution work delivered through Tacmin (Pty) Ltd across complex and emerging operating environments remains relevant, but it is no longer what we do. It is the foundation from which we now provide assurance.
Experience earned in delivery is applied through governance assurance to strengthen decision quality, protect value and reinforce owner accountability across the asset lifecycle.
