The Client

A U.K. based broker dealer.

The Challenge
Lysis Managed the FCA Section166 reporting to the Group COO. They worked with the firm's board and senior management to shape each project and then produced a detailed programme plan which provided the delivery dates included in the response to the report.
The Solution

The project included programme governance, RAID, and tracking tools to ensure accurate and timely delivery, working with executive and senior management to initiate the programme and projects, to build the team required and to respond to initial regulator challenges on the programme and project set-up.

Lysis took responsibility for programme management, planning, tracking, and reporting, including programme risks, issues, dependencies, and the budget.
