Decisions you can stand behind.
I help boards, executives and programme sponsors test decisions, scrutinise assurances and establish a way forward when delivery falters.
I investigate the evidence, question the assumptions and work through what the findings mean for your next decision.
The conclusion follows the evidence. Always.
Will Killin · Independent advisory
My background spans assurance, audit, investigations, expert witness work and portfolio recovery. I helped a client and supplier agree what success required for an ERP programme, and examined whether the evidence justified a payments assurance claim. Both accounts set out the findings and their limits.
Examine the case evidenceEnterprise transformation
The supplier was working towards a functioning ERP system. The client needed business and financial outcomes. I helped both sides agree what success looked like and revise the plan so the change could be delivered.

How much risk had the testing actually reduced? On a major payments transformation, I traced that assurance back to a risk assessment based on one person’s unvalidated judgement. The review did not establish that the testing itself was insufficient.

I test a specific proposal before you commit, examining its assumptions, alternatives and the conditions under which it would make sense.
The Diagnostic · Investigation and root-cause analysis
I investigate an unclear or recurring problem, compare explanations and distinguish symptoms from causes before you choose a response.
The Intervention · Remediation, recovery and practical implementation
I help put an agreed redesign or recovery into practice, with clear responsibilities and evidence that shows whether the changes are working.
Independent Counsel · Ongoing independent advice and challenge
I provide external judgement with investigation between conversations, written findings and continuity as the evidence and your circumstances change.
Fractional Advisory · Embedded senior capability
I take on agreed senior responsibilities and capacity within your operating arrangements, with authority and accountability made explicit.
Independent Review · Evidence-based assessment and assurance
I assess a claim, programme, control environment or outcome against agreed criteria, explaining what the evidence supports and where it falls short.
The work includes investigation, analysis, judgement and written conclusions. Where agreed, I also help put a practical response into effect.
We agree the question, responsibilities, outputs and fee before work begins. The scope determines the work required, including access to people and information.
Compare services and fee basesDecision and strategy stress-testing
Identify what must be true for the strategy to work, test the assumptions that matter most and agree conditions for proceeding.
Stress-test a strategy before funding itRemediation, recovery and practical implementation
Test whether the business outcome remains worthwhile and achievable, then examine the changes, authority and resources needed to pursue it.
Assess whether a programme can recoverEvidence-based assessment and assurance
Agree what readiness means, then test the evidence behind material claims, including exceptions, dependencies and assessment limits.
