Alliances and Qualifications
Since 1995 we have worked closely with LIMRA International – a research, training and consultancy organization for financial services businesses - to provide specialist consultancy services to their members in the UK and Europe. As a result of this alliance we have conducted consultancy assignments with companies such as: ÁB Aegon LIMRA has over 800 members in more than 60 countries, all of them in or closely related to financial services. In addition to the substantial networking benefits that members gain, LIMRA helps them to understand their customers, markets, distribution channels, and competitors, and to understand how to leverage that knowledge to develop realistic business solutions. It does that by providing them with access to a combination of research and information, experienced professionals, and innovative consultancy services.
To provide an effective service to financial service companies, Action Consulting needs and has a good understanding of issues relating to compliance and FSA requirements and plans. However, we are not a compliance specialist and so have developed an alliance with Resources Compliance, a specialist regulatory and compliance practice, to complement our services. Resources Compliance serve the whole of the financial services sector, investment managers and advisers, banks, product providers, insurance and mortgage brokers and other financial institutions in the UK and throughout Europe. Their specialist team of regulatory consultants has a wide range of experience and expertise covering the complete spectrum of financial services regulation and compliance. They provide a full range of services covering all aspects of FSA related matters ranging from the higher level Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC) issues, Compliance consultants meetings associated with ARROW reviews, Skilled Persons (s166) Reports, TCF issues and Expert Witness Reports, to the more granular day to day requirements of File and Past Business Reviews, Healthchecks, Training & Competence, and Compliance Support. For the individual or firm contemplating the issues that may arise from the FSA Retail Distribution Review (RDR) they can provide practical guidance, and for a firm contemplating FSA authorisation they can project manage its FSA Application. They also support firms on specific regulatory areas such as preparation of ICAAPS and responding to industry/regulatory surveys. |

A lot of Action Consulting’s work involves looking at the effectiveness not just of strategies and processes, but also people. This frequently involves us reviewing job roles and responsibilities, the way people work, and the way in which their performance is measured and managed. To allow us to provide a more comprehensive service to our clients, we have developed an association with River HRD. This relationship provides us with greater expertise in the management of individual performance and enables us to design and deliver staff training, management development and executive coaching. River can help organizations to improve performance at every stage of the people process, including recruitment and selection, motivation, team building and communication skills, performance management and coaching, and leadership development. It can help through providing consultancy and process design, management training and development, and executive coaching, helping everyone from the first-level supervisor to the chief executive.
Almost every project we undertaken involves a need to communicate with customers, retailers, and, most importantly, with your own people. Effective communication requires clear and simple design, and so we have teamed-up with Altura brand identity to be able to offer brand identity and effective design communications. Altura brand identity supports businesses with their internal and external communications and work for companies such as Sodexho, Saint-Gobain, Fenner plc, Umeco plc. |
