Rhizome works with companies across financial services and other industries to generate a deep understanding of culture and what drives it. Our expert-led approach means we get to the heart of the issue quicker and more effectively, which delivers more targeted interventions with less overhead, less operational inefficiency and less risk.
We have provided risk culture design, assessment and assurance services to a number of large Australian ADIs, global banks, some of Australia’s largest and most prominent superannuation funds and ASX-listed wealth managers. We have also worked with a number of large ADIs to strengthen lending and credit strategies leveraging our insights into why things work the way they do in practice.
In our clients’ words
Chief Executive Officer – ASX-listed Wealth Manager:
‘Rhizome were engaged to assist with identifying key opportunities to deepen and accelerate the development of our risk culture. A key benefit of working with Rhizome was we dealt directly with the Principals, who were extremely experienced and passionate about risk and, importantly, the way it is positioned and implemented within organisations to ensure the desired impact is achieved.
‘Rhizome are supporting us in building our organisational approach to risk culture and it’s clear –there really is no substitute for expertise. Their deep subject matter expertise and industry knowledge mean getting to the real root cause of issues fast and targeted interventions that are actually effective. The team is highly respected across our organisation, reflecting their strengths in stakeholder engagement and influence. Their ability to create those relationships means internally, we are best positioned to deliver sustainable change.
“Rhizome delivers outcomes and it’s clear to me that the team is also strongly invested in our successful uplift. I’m confident that this has accelerated our program of work and getting us to a place where the way that we manage risk is actually a strategic enabler.”

A key benefit of working with Rhizome was we dealt directly with the Principals, who were extremely experienced and passionate about risk and, importantly, the way it is positioned and implemented within organisations to ensure the desired impact is achieved.Critically, an open and trusted relationship was quickly established which enabled thoughtful and honest conversations to occur upfront and thus the key opportunities to be identified early.
An important key difference in working with Rhizome is what we didn’t get…We didn’t get a simple regurgitation of the 3LOD model and a standardised list of improvements to the way we were currently deploying it.
Experienced, thoughtful, pragmatic and commercial…. A trusted advisor.’
