Lead with Confidence!
A resilient risk culture isn’t one that eliminates uncertainty—it’s one where your leaders embrace it with clarity, accountability, and courage. In an environment shaped by complexity, scrutiny, and rapid change, strong leadership and healthy culture are essential for navigating risk, enabling challenge, and making sound decisions. At Aevitium LTD, we help you align culture, governance, and leadership—so you can lead with confidence and integrity, no matter what lies ahead.
“The real risk isn't disruption—it's silence. It's the absence of challenge, the hesitation to speak up, and the fear of being wrong. Resilient cultures are built where leadership makes it safe to engage, question, and decide.” - Julien Haye

Pricing and Engagement Models
We believe in clear and transparent pricing for our leadership and culture advisory services. Our models are flexible and tailored to your organisation’s needs, giving you access to senior expertise without unnecessary overhead. Whether you need a one-off diagnostic, ongoing board support, or fractional leadership, our pricing is designed to align with your goals and resources.
Note. All engagements are delivered directly by senior risk and resilience experts, providing practical insight and proven leadership experience at every stage.
Project-Based Engagements
For leadership diagnostics, board workshops, or governance reviews. Pricing is based on the agreed scope of work and deliverables, not on the time spent. Each project fee is scoped upfront and confirmed before work begins.
Retainer Advisory
For organisations that want continuous access to senior leadership and culture expertise. Engagements can include board coaching, risk challenge activation, and ongoing oversight. Pricing is day-rate based, calculated on the time spent, ensuring flexibility and transparency.
Fractional Leadership
For firms that need part-time senior expertise without the cost of a full-time hire. This model is ideal for founder-led firms, scaling fintechs, or non-profits seeking to outsource leadership and governance responsibilities. Engagements are set on an agreed quarterly subscription model, based on responsibilities rather than hours.
Training Programmes
We deliver tailored leadership workshops and cultural interventions for boards and executives, as well as CPD-accredited programmes with partners. Pricing depends on the format and number of participants. Open sessions are priced per delegate, while in-house workshops are scoped as a package.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is risk leadership, and why does it matter?
Risk leadership is how senior leaders shape the culture, behaviours, and decisions around risk. It matters because effective risk leadership builds trust, ensures clear accountability, and makes risk a strategic enabler — not just a control function.
2. How do I know if our risk culture needs to change?
Warning signs often include unclear accountability, risk-averse decision-making, lack of challenge in leadership conversations, or repeated near-misses. We help you assess these symptoms through diagnostics, interviews, and behavioural analysis to uncover root causes.
3. Who are these services designed for?
Our solutions are tailored for Boards, senior leadership teams, risk and compliance leaders, and transformation teams seeking to embed cultural and behavioural change into their risk frameworks.
4. What does psychological safety have to do with risk?
Psychological safety enables people to speak up, challenge assumptions, and escalate concerns—critical for early risk identification and resilient decision-making. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about protecting your business through open, informed dialogue.
5. Do you offer workshops or leadership coaching?
Yes. We offer bespoke workshops, board-level facilitation, and executive coaching, all focused on enhancing risk-aware decision-making, accountability, and leadership alignment.
6. How do you embed risk culture into everyday operations?
We don’t just deliver reports—we partner with you to translate insights into sustained change. From redefining leadership behaviours to aligning governance, we help integrate culture and accountability into your existing risk frameworks, operating rhythms, and performance conversations. Our goal is to make good risk culture part of how your business naturally runs.
7. Can you help us meet regulatory expectations?
Yes. While we don’t offer legal advice, our work aligns with SMCR, FCA cultural supervision priorities, and global governance standards—helping you demonstrate credible leadership, accountability, and cultural oversight.
8. How long does it take to see results?
Some shifts—like speaking up more confidently—can begin within weeks. Broader culture change takes time. We work with you to create short- and long-term impact plans that match your goals, resources, and regulatory expectations.
9. We’re in crisis—can you help right now?
Yes. If you’re facing a breakdown in governance or culture, our intervention services offer immediate expert support to stabilise leadership dynamics, restore risk control, and guide you through difficult decisions.
10. How do we get started?
It starts with a conversation. We’ll explore your current challenges, objectives, and any urgent issues. From there, we’ll recommend a tailored approach—whether it’s a cultural diagnostic, leadership workshop, or targeted advisory. You don’t need to have all the answers—you just need the willingness to improve your culture.
