RiskTransform Information

Most banks structure the risk function into silos of credit, market, operational and liquidity risk. Finding a common language and consistent reporting between them, but also with Finance is a challenge. Understanding the joint impact of market stress on asset positions and the overall business model is next to impossible. Senior management, regulators and the public are pushing for improvement. RiskTransform Ltd is a niche consultancy specialized in business architecture and operating model change for the Risk function. We are using a combination of consulting driven and architectural techniques to drive predictable transformation. Our sweet spot is the integration of risk, operating model and IT change. Risk change requires an integrated approach which combines solid change management and architectural capabilities with an understanding of the intricacies and interdependencies of risk. We have experience, processes and reference models bringing together these dimensions, based on industry standards and best practices. Founder and a director of RiskTransform is Thomas Obitz, an experienced consultant with Big 4 background and 20 years in the Financial Services industry. He has driven change of operating models in banks and has led large-scale architecture transformation initiatives. With a deep knowledge of Risk (certified Financial Risk Manager/ GARP FRM) and of operating model/ architecture change (TOGAF 9 certified enterprise architect), he is able to combine the functional and the change management needs of the industry. RiskTransform is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales headquartered in London.
