Ringfence - organisational model

The Ringfence Approach has been developed over decades of practical expertise and experience and ensures that any change – whether small-scale optimisation or large-scale transformation – fully supports and is aligned to your organisation’s wider value creation activities, purpose, values and strategic plans.

Good information fitness relies upon several key aspects of wider organisational fitness:

Purpose, vision & strategic objectives

These need to be well defined and communicated to maintain clear focus, alignment, prioritisation, coordination and flexibility across any organisation.

Good information governance relies upon clear strategic objectives to ensure that information assets, activities and opportunities are best used and prioritised to achieve wider organisational goals.

Ringfence can also help diagnose and remedy any weaknesses across these key aspects of wider organisational fitness that might be holding you and your information fitness back.

At the heart of the Ringfence Approach is a core focus on using information & IT/digital to drive more effective:

Record keeping

Effective record keeping relies upon good information governance and IT/digital as well as ensuring that data is accurate, up to date and secure (particularly for digital information given ever-increasing cyber threats)

Good information governance adds value to any organisation and can help you stand out from the crowd, particularly as part of you being able to demonstrate Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
