Session
LGR is the biggest change in local government for decades. Currently plans are being formulated across the country as to potential unitary models. The Government’s Green Book and approach to change through the gateway approach is quite clear. Risk management needs to be embedded at the heart of this change. Risk management takes many forms throughout the change process from the business case, delivering the programme and through to the first steps of the shadow authorities.
In this thought-provoking session Tilden will look at the critical importance of risk management based on his previous experience in change projects and being involved in government gateway reviews.
Tilden has spent a career embedding practical risk, resilience and internal control solutions within organisations. As a qualified accountant (CIPFA), Internal Auditor (IIA), and member of the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), Tilden has dedicated nearly two decades to the public sector, serving in senior roles in local and central government. His notable roles included audit management and whilst working in central government shaping government risk policy and embedding risk management into significant government initiatives including building schools for the future.
In his tenure with a major public sector insurer, Tilden successfully supported over a hundred public sector clients in integrating robust risk management strategies and developing comprehensive resilience plans. Whilst managing the UK strategic risk team for Zurich he regularly presented at conferences on a range of topical risk issues.
Before joining Gallagher, Tilden spent ten years in a senior leadership role for Zurich, where he demonstrated a track record for innovation, delivering results and enhancing risk and resilience frameworks.
Despite many years in the risk profession, he remains both a pragmatist and an optimist. His passion is to ensure risk management truly supports organisations in achieving their goals in challenging circumstances.
