When we understand the landscape and priority issues, we need to act on this knowledge to increase our resilience. Harmattan guides clients
in developing coherent approaches and structures to manage priority risks. The following are indicative.

Strategy and organisation
Risk control
Organisations face immediate risks arising from
exogenous conditions and negative stakeholder
reactions.
Harmattan assists clients in selecting appropriate
risk management options, and then integrating
these into coherent control programmes aimed at
avoidance, prevention, and mitigation.
We advise on the relevant business functions
appropriate for given control programmes, and on
the structures required to ensure synergy,
integration and coherence.

Stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder attitudes can be a source of risk, but
also support.
Harmattan advises on appropriate engagement
strategies to minimise friction, optimise cooperation,
and to help the organisation to integrate smoothly
into the host environment.
Stakeholder engagement is often led by External
Affairs or Community Relations, but we believe that
all front-line functions have a role to play in dealing
with their host community counterparts, and help to
develop programmes to integrate and synthesise
engagement approaches across the operation.

Contingency plans
Scenario analysis yields insights into how the wider
risk landscape could shift over time.
We work with clients to develop phased responses to
emerging scenarios, with aim of being prepared for
the worst cases while maintaining options for
re-engagement or re-entry should conditions improve.
We also assist in the development of capabilities to
deal with manifestations of near-term risks, via
simulations, exercises and capability gap analyses.

Strategy
All programmes relevant to political risk management need to be integrated within one coherent strategy based on a shared understanding of the risks, and a shared
vision of resilience and how it is achieved. We help clients to define a strategy that guides diverse risk management initiatives, reduces organisational complexity, and
optimises synergies and coherence for optimal overall resilience. This can involve ensuring a close fit between political risk management and the wider enterprise risk
management framework, while ensuring that political risk initiatives are given an emphasis appropriate to the environmental context.
