Operational & Governance Assessment
Comprehensive baseline evaluation using LARO's 3 Blind Spot Methodology
Structured stakeholder interviews and comprehensive documentation review, to uncover misses in traditional discovery methods: resource conflicts between concurrent initiatives, shadow systems that operate in the unknown, and technical dependencies that create hidden risks. LARO’s methodology works to reveal the gap between documented processes and operational reality.
Deliverables: Operational maturity scorecard, capability assessment, transformation readiness report, stakeholder interview summaries
Best for: Organizations planning acquisitions, scaling rapidly, or implementing new technology platforms where operational foundation matters -
Gap Assessments
Data-driven evaluation of operational effectiveness using LARO's 30-Day Framework
Through performance analysis and real-time operational monitoring conducted over a 30-day intensive period, we pinpoint what standard performance reviews overlook: workflow disruptions that cascade across departments, regulatory exposure points embedded in daily operations, and oversight deficiencies that create systematic blind spots.
Deliverables: Performance baseline report, improvement opportunity matrix, strategic implementation roadmap
Best for: Companies with operational challenges, budget constraints, or M&A preparation needs
-
Operational Systems Design
Process optimization with integrated controls and performance monitoring
By conducting process analysis, we identify inefficiencies and redesign workflow components that lead to roadblocks or quality issues. We standardize documentation for operational clarity and integrate monitoring capabilities designed for sustainable operations. We automate repetitive tasks that drain margins, create unified workflows that eliminate departmental redundancy, and build systems that scale.
Deliverables: Process designs, control specifications, monitoring dashboards
Best for: Companies with manual processes eating into margins, frequent errors causing customer issues, or departments working in silos with duplicated effort
-
Governance Framework Development
Policies, procedures, and accountability structures
Through collaboration with your expert teams, tailored governance systems are developed that include operational policies, standards, procedures, and reporting mechanisms. Clear decision rights and escalation pathways are established to eliminate authority indecision, procedures are created to satisfy regulatory requirements, and accountability structures are built to ensure team adoption and organizational alignment.
Deliverables: Policy manual, procedure documentation, reporting templates, accountability matrix
Best for: Fast-growing companies where decisions are bottlenecked by unclear authority, compliance issues arising from informal processes, or investor/board demands for operational structure
-
Operational & Governance Readiness
Regulatory examination and compliance review preparation
Through comprehensive response protocol development, we help organizations prepare for regulatory exams and internal audits. Response strategies for examinations are created, documentation and processes are aligned to regulatory standards. Working minimize disruptions and provide clear audit pathways. Mock examination scenarios and staff preparation are included to prepare your organization for confident, accurate regulatory responses.
Deliverables: Examination packages, response protocols, corrective action plans
Best for: Companies with pending regulatory examinations, audit findings requiring remediation, or due diligence processes where operational compliance is scrutinized
-
