At Holmes Talent we have created a methodology for training consultants that we feel equips them to flourish and succeed in delivering complex regulatory change programs. We know what is required to be successful in delivering regulatory change programs because we have the experience of delivering such programs for some of the biggest banks in the world.

Our methodology cuts across 4 modules – Domain, People, Charisma, Project – blending technical knowledge, management theory, soft skills and consulting best practices to develop a comprehensive arsenal for our consultants to leverage.

Domain – Our candidates come from a variety of backgrounds, and we train them to reflect on their key domain knowledge across products and industry knowledge and attain a bigger picture mindset. Equipped with strong domain knowledge and big picture mindset, candidates are ready to leverage their domain knowledge in a regulatory change environment.

People – Regulatory change programs involve multiple stakeholders at every stage in the lifecycle. Delivering such programs requires interaction with all these different stakeholder groups ranging from regulatory compliance and legal teams, product and operational teams, IT teams and other committees. It is important as a regulatory change delivery consultant to understand how to interact with these teams.

Charisma – Regulatory change programs have so many moving parts – across teams, processes, stakeholders, and other variable factors – that require political, cultural, social and commercial awareness on the part of the consultant. It is imperative to have a communication style that can be readily adapted to deal with different stakeholders, scenarios and challenges.

Project – Regulatory Change programs when run correctly should follow a trusted framework specific to regulatory change. Such a framework will encapsulate artefacts, documentation and communication across the various stages in a regulatory change program.
