Climate product 03 · Integrate

Embed climate risk where decisions are actually made.

A bounded 6–10 week engagement that converts a priority climate-risk requirement into practical methods, processes, roles and controls—ready to operate within your existing risk and actuarial framework.

When the Sprint helps

The analysis exists. The operating connection does not.

The Sprint is designed for organizations that understand the issue but still need to connect climate-risk insight with day-to-day decisions, documentation and accountability.

01

Disconnected analysis

Scenario or risk work remains separate from existing actuarial, financial or risk processes.

02

Unclear ownership

Responsibilities are distributed across functions without clear decisions, handoffs or escalation.

03

Weak controls

Assumptions, expert judgement, data limitations and review requirements are not consistently documented.

04

No repeatable cycle

A one-off exercise needs to become a proportionate process that can be refreshed and challenged.

Choose the priority pathway

Focused enough to finish. Material enough to matter.

A Sprint normally concentrates on one pathway. The precise scope depends on maturity, available evidence and the management decision to be supported.

02

Underwriting and pricing

Embed relevant risk signals, assumptions and decision criteria into portfolio steering or technical processes.

03

Models and data

Define the data lineage, methodology, expert judgement, validation and monitoring needed for a selected model use.

04

Governance and controls

Clarify ownership, approvals, review cycles, documentation requirements and escalation routes.

05

Management reporting

Convert analysis into concise metrics, decision thresholds, limitations and management actions.

How the Sprint works

Build, test and hand over.

Work is completed with the people who will operate and govern the resulting process. This makes the output more practical and supports transfer of ownership.

Readiness principle

The material risk and intended business decision should already be sufficiently clear. If not, begin with the QuickScan or Scenario Lab.

  1. 01

    Mobilize

    Confirm the use case, owners, current process, evidence base and definition of done.

  2. 02

    Design

    Develop the target method, workflow, responsibilities, documentation and controls.

  3. 03

    Build

    Create the selected templates, calculations, guidance, reporting or process assets.

  4. 04

    Test

    Run a working cycle, challenge assumptions, resolve gaps and document limitations.

  5. 05

    Transfer

    Agree ownership, training, controls, implementation backlog and next review.

What you receive

Practical assets designed to survive beyond the project.

01

Integration blueprint

Target process, decision points, interfaces and implementation boundaries.

02

Method and assumptions

Documented methodology, data, judgements, limitations and refresh requirements.

03

Operating templates

Selected calculations, assessment tools, reporting formats or process guidance.

04

Roles and controls

Responsibilities, review steps, approvals, evidence requirements and escalation.

05

Test-cycle findings

Results from applying the proposed approach and the issues requiring refinement.

06

Implementation backlog

Prioritized actions, owners, dependencies and recommended next review.

Engagement fit

Clear starting conditions and boundaries.

The Sprint is a strong fit when:

  • A material climate-risk use case has been identified
  • A management decision or process owner is clear
  • Relevant stakeholders can participate in design and testing
  • The organization wants a bounded implementation step

Normally outside the Sprint:

  • Enterprise-wide transformation or systems implementation
  • Development of new climate-science projections
  • Independent assurance or formal model validation
  • Legal opinions or certification of compliance

Make one priority operational

Where does climate risk need to enter the decision process?

A short discussion can establish whether the use case is ready for a Sprint and what a proportionate scope would look like.
