What is people risk?


‘People Risk’ is the indistinct deficit in the expertise and leadership required to successfully capitalise on a strategic vision and/or a market opportunity in the context of early and growth stage internet and software-based companies.

For founders it is the biggest constraint to creating sustainable value and is concentrated by scale and compounded by experience level. It is ingrained in every decision and action, frequently unrecognised, often uncontrolled and nearly always at the core of success and failure.

Whilst the stories of all the most successful companies start with remarkable founders, the ability to continuously manage and optimise ‘People Risk’ is central to overall achievement. No matter the opportunity, breakthrough or funding, if you don’t have the right expertise focusing on the right activities at the right stage of growth you will always be exposed to ‘People Risk’.

Faraday Partners addresses ‘People Risk’ and enables founders to create competitive advantage through a comprehensive approach to all aspects of talent. We believe the most successful future companies will be valued on their organisational capabilities as much as metrics or financial performance.

FOUNDATION OF A WINNING TALENT STRATEGY

Michael Faraday (1791-1867)

Michael Faraday made some of the most important fundamental scientific discoveries that have gone on to underpin today’s global technology economy; his contribution to the understanding of electromagnetism impacts every aspect of the modern technological experiences that we take for granted today. What stood out about Faraday’s discoveries is that many of them were made through observation as much as through experimentation.

Retaining a focus on what was observed versus what could be understood or explained in pure science or mathematics joined together competing phenomena that enabled fundamental progress. When we compare this to the contemporary world today, we recognise that retaining a broader view can be challenged by an overarching focus on data, insights and automation. When building organisations, combining a multifaceted approach is core to the progress required to create value through teams and people.
