Dispute intervention & stabilisation
Control and direction under commercial pressure
Independent governance assurance is applied where disputes are active or imminent and outcomes risk becoming uncontrolled. Disciplined intervention is used to stabilise positions, regain commercial control and prevent escalation driven by pressure rather than evidence. The emphasis is on protecting value, preserving delivery momentum and creating clear, defensible pathways forward.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Dispute Stabilisation
Decision Pathway Assurance
Resolution Pathway Assurance
Delivery Momentum Preservation
Dispute Stabilisation
Dispute Stabilisation
Immediate control of contested positions
Why it matters | Active disputes can quickly destabilise delivery, decision-making and commercial relationships. Without early control, positions harden, escalation accelerates and value is eroded. |
Our focus | Governance assurance is applied to facts, positions and authority to stabilise disputes and restore control. Immediate priorities are clarified, decision rights confirmed and escalation pathways assured. |
Outcome | Stabilised disputes with clearer positions, controlled exposure and reduced escalation pressure. |
Decision Pathway Assurance
Decision Pathway Assurance
Governed choices under pressure
Why it matters | Disputes often force decisions to be made under time and commercial pressure. Unclear pathways and informal authority increase the risk of irreversible or misaligned outcomes. |
Our focus | Decision pathways are assured to clarify options, approval thresholds and escalation triggers. Decisions are structured to remain deliberate, evidence-based and aligned with owner intent. |
Outcome | Clear, defensible decisions taken with confidence, even under contested conditions. |
Resolution Pathway Assurance
Resolution Pathway Assurance
Controlled progression toward outcome
Why it matters | Without an assured pathway, disputes drift toward adversarial escalation by default. This limits options and increases cost, time and uncertainty. |
Our focus | Resolution pathways are independently assessed and assured to test options, consequences and timing. Escalation is managed deliberately to ensure outcomes align with value protection and long-term objectives. |
Outcome | Clear, controlled pathways toward resolution that protect value and preserve optionality. |
Delivery Momentum Preservation
Delivery Momentum Preservation
Maintaining execution during contention
Why it matters | Disputes frequently disrupt delivery, slowing progress and compounding risk. Loss of momentum can magnify commercial exposure and undermine asset outcomes. |
Our focus | Governance assurance is applied to separate dispute issues from ongoing delivery where possible. Execution priorities, interfaces and controls are stabilised to maintain progress while disputes are managed. |
Outcome | Sustained delivery momentum with reduced disruption during periods of commercial contention. |
