Well what a month it has been working in strict lockdown conditions! I hope everyone has managed to adapt and stay well. 

 At R2A it has been a steep learning curve with the huge number of different communication systems being used by organisations. I think Richard, as a Mac user, has learnt way more about the Microsoft world than he ever wanted!  

We've been very lucky to have been able to continue delivering our consulting services to clients remotely and have completed an SFAIRP review for KiwiRail in New Zealand and continued to work with the ESV on a criticality review.  We have also delivered a number of on-line executive briefing sessions, including one to the Country Fire Authority and the Bureau of Meteorology. 

Our Safety Due Diligence webinar last month went really well with great questions from the audience.  Our next webinar on Project Due Diligence is scheduled for next week. More information is below and we’ll try not to delete your registrations this time!

Finally, Richard and I would like to say a big thank you to the R2A and Apto team of Kerrie, Anya, Megan and Sachi for their support and willingness to adapt to this new working environment and helping our businesses to prosper.  We couldn’t have done it without them!

And, with that, if you need to discuss due diligence for your organisation, get in touch via email risk@r2a.com.au or telephone 1300 772 333.

Take care until next time;
Gaye Francis
R2A Director & Partner

 
 
 
 
 

FREE WEBINAR 27 MAY

Project Due Diligence

 
 
 

With lockdown continuing and no clear dates to reschedule our public workshops, we decided to bring forward our next webinar on Project Due Diligence to Wednesday 27 May at 12noon.

In this one hour webinar, Richard & Gaye will present on how R2A delivers project due diligence to provide a transparent argument as to why the critical success outcomes will be achieved. And how this argument ensures there are no foreseeable project show stoppers within its scope, and that all reasonable practicable precautions are in place for any issues of concern that remain.

WHITE PAPER

Project Due Diligence

 
 
 

To complement the learnings of the Project Due Diligence webinar, we’ve updated our White Paper that details a summary of the project due diligence methodology we've used over the last two decades. The process has been applied to projects ranging from $10M to $2.5B and, in all cases, no unanticipated issues arose, and relevant precautionary and contingency plans were in place to effectively manage the issues that did arise.
