How We Help
Strategy & Operations
Futurist Joel A. Barker said that “Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” This quote highlights the importance of both strategic vision and operational action. The role of organizational leaders is to present an inspirational vision of the future, grounded in its own possibilities, and to drive to that future through the management of the organization’s resources. Organizational excellence will increase the organization’s ability to realize its vision. Third Foundation has the experience to assist your organization with the development of strategy and optimization of operations.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
ERM is an organization-wide approach to the identification, assessment, communication and management of risk. Implementing an effective ERM framework can assure an organization’s stakeholders that risk management activities and controls are effective in managing risks that could have an impact on achievement of its objectives.
