Risk Consultants

About: 

I am a health & safety professional and the principal consultant for EnviroSafe Consulting Limited, based in Auckland: people are my passion and small and medium businesses are the focus.

With a foundation in commercial air transport operations, I have extensive knowledge working within high-risk, highly regulated and complex environments.

Included is experience over a number of industry sectors such as manufacturing, plant and machinery maintenance, civil construction and land development, landscaping and horticulture production, metals recovery, quarrying, steel production, and the rail network.

I have a particular passion for small-to-medium sized business-related risk. The impacts of Covid-19 recently and the ongoing and accelerating climate changes have demonstrated the need to do business differently. I want to help businesses increase their capacity for change, thereby increasing resilience in this world of uncertainty.

Steven learned about risk management and decision making under conditions of uncertainty in the high-consequence environment of bomb disposal during his time as an officer in the NZ Army. Since then, he has built a successful international consultancy business, AGLX.

Realising that conventional management practices were not suited to the fast changing, highly uncertain business world, Steven has dedicated his career to developing tools and methods that are.

Steven has become a globally recognised specialist in “complexity management”, the practice of applying complexity science to help organisations navigate complex, uncertain and volatile situations. Through his consulting practice AGLX, Steven is part of a global network of leading thinkers, practitioners, consultants and academics who are developing and applying world leading complexity management techniques. AGLX now works with some of the world’s largest organisations with applications ranging from strategy, risk, innovation, safety, quality, health, cyber security, banking and funds management.

Steven has developed the AGLX Adaptive Strategy method, ICE Innovation™ framework and is a sought-after facilitator and speaker on strategy, innovation, and risk.

Service Description:

AGLX provides the following services:

• Integrated Risk Management
• Adaptive Strategy
• ICE Innovation®
• Adaptive Leadership & Teamwork

My interest in risk management and situational awareness was triggered at University, with my first trip into the depths of a working underground coal mine. In my experience, there is nothing like stepping into the lift cage of a deep mine to build awareness of risks and engineering standards.

I am a director of Extrinsic Services Ltd, which was incorporated in 1999. Extrinsic melds the craft of intelligence with risk management and project disciplines to help organisations explore and own their unique futures. We work with people, companies and organisations that want to do things outside of the ordinary and routine – through innovation, and by adopting novel and unusual ways of looking at the world. I am also a partner of Business Cycles, which has a track record in horticulture.

In summary, my work can be described as helping organisations to create certainty of outcome by identifying and managing uncertainties. Over the last 40 years I have worked with more than fifty organisations; this rich mosaic of practical experience provides me with insights into governance structures, organisational design, business transformation, and project disciplines.

I was honoured to be appointed to the Audit and Risk Committee of the Parliamentary Counsel Office in 2014, and to become the first non-lawyer to Chair that Committee.

Areas of Expertise:
