MAKE AN IMPACT.
Kathryn Higgs & Associates helps organisations put purpose first.
THE CHALLENGE
Integrity programmes often fail when they are needed most.
Organisations invest heavily in compliance frameworks, policies and codes of conduct. But when pressure arises, behaviour does not always align with those commitments.
Whether integrity holds depends on how systems, leadership and culture interact in practice. For this reason, organisations need to focus not only on designing programmes, but on ensuring those systems function effectively in real organisational environments.
WHAT WE DO
We focus on the practical drivers that allow integrity to hold under pressure. Our work spans four interconnected areas:
Integrity Strategy & Organisational Systems
Designing the system
We help organisations see the bigger picture of how their integrity systems work as a whole and support them in the design of their programme - ensuring that their compliance frameworks, policies and procedures, governance and decision-making structures support ethical behaviour in practice.
Ethical Culture & Leadership
Shaping behaviour
We help organisations shape the culture and leadership behaviours that determine how people actually act – ensuring that expectations around ethics and integrity are clearly understood, consistently modelled by leaders and embedded in everyday decision-making.
We help organisations create environments where concerns surface early and people feel safe to raise issues – ensuring that potential problems become visible and can be addressed before they escalate.
Speak-Up Culture & Psychological Safety
Surfacing concerns
We help organisations respond effectively when concerns arise – ensuring issues are addressed efficiently, robustly and fairly, using a human-centred approach that protects people, the organisation and its integrity.
Investigations & Ethics Triage
Responding to issues
Ethics Triage is an outsourced case management service which helps companies throughout the lifecycle of internal investigations - from report to resolution.
We help clients to ensure they have a robust whistleblowing programme in place. In doing so, we bring a human touch to our interactions with all individuals involved to maximise psychological safety and confidence in the speak-up process.
