Osaco Group Limited

OSACO Group are global experts in human fallibility and the risk impact for organisations: how it impacts the integrity, effectiveness, and reputation of businesses and institutions of all kinds; how it corrodes our trust in them, and what can be done about it.#UNdevelopmentgoals OSACO have a wealth of experience in what can go wrong when people go wrong in organisations, and what to do about it: how to anticipate misconduct and take proactive steps to reduce it; how to ensure people are working in keeping with their employer's stated aims so that what gets accomplished is what the organisation intends—not the opposite. Everything we do is about a proactive approach to risk, organisational learning and effectiveness: how to learn from experience and act on it, evolving, adapting and getting wiser for next time. The integrity and trustworthiness of our organisations has never mattered more: in a time of unprecedented global uncertainty and political flux, the integrity and trustworthiness of our businesses, humanitarian organisations, government machinery, financial establishments and even our sports institutions really does matter. Organisations put all kinds of elaborate systems and mechanisms in place to regulate the behaviour of their employees. In reality though, and human nature being what it is, there’s often a big gap between how people are supposed to behave in their roles and how they actually behave in practice. Things go wrong, often badly and with costly, highly damaging consequences. At OSACO we call this the human risk factor, as distinct from market, economic, environmental or other types of risks that organisations face. Put simply: it’s the risk that things go wrong because people go wrong — the threat posed to organisations, their work, their value and reputation by human fallibility.
