One Framework.
One Partner.
One Source of Truth.

Optimal provides an integrated approach to organizational risk—bringing together the right experts, aligning their efforts across five connected dimensions, and giving leaders a clear, accountable view of what matters most.

Phase 1: Assessment See clearly for the first time.

We conduct a comprehensive Global Risk Optimization Assessment across all of the Optimal 5 risks, including document reviews, stakeholder interviews, system evaluations, policy analysis, and insurance program review. You receive an Executive Risk Dashboard with heat maps, a prioritized risk register, and an initial roadmap highlighting quick wins and early priorities.

Phase 2: Strategic Planning Turn insight into action.

We translate assessment findings into a board-ready strategy. This includes risk-adjusted prioritization, coordinated assembly of subject matter experts, and an integrated 12–24 month roadmap with clear ownership, timelines, budgets, and success metrics.

Phase 3: Implementation Execute with a single point of accountability.

Optimal serves as the general contractor for your risk strategy, coordinating all subject matter experts while you maintain one primary relationship. We provide weekly progress reporting, monthly steering committee updates, and quarterly board-level reporting. We negotiate with vendors, validate quality, and ensure alignment across all workstreams.

Phase 4: Optimization Continuous improvement, not annual surprises.

Risk performance is monitored in real time through your digital dashboard. Quarterly reviews reassess exposure, identify emerging threats, and validate control effectiveness. Annual optimization reports document year-over-year improvement, cost avoidance, and sustained risk reduction.

How We Work

Products & Services

Human Capital Consulting
With the convergence of technology around the Human Element of Risk that all employers have, there is a huge disconnect globally. Our focus is to bring the convergence of HR, Technology, Employee Benefits, HRIS, and payroll services under a coordinated umbrella to drive the value where it’s needed most.
Digital Risk Management, IT Consulting, Managed Services & AI Consulting
It seems that all businesses are now in the technology business, whether they want to be or not. Our team has been structured first to assess where losses or exposure may be and then to provide a clear roadmap for continuously improving and creating efficiencies around the root cause of the exposure. We can also manage your infrastructure moving forward.
Advisory Services
Ongoing consulting engagements where Optimal serves as the organization’s offensive coordinator for risk management, coordinating subject matter experts, monitoring emerging threats, and providing strategic guidance on an ongoing basis.
Risk Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations using our Optimal 5 risk Framework that analyzes an organization’s Human, Digital, Physical, Financial, and Compliance risk dimensions. These assessments identify gaps, quantify exposures, and provide prioritized remediation roadmaps.
Employee Benefits Programs (including THRIVE)
Self-funded healthcare solutions for mid-market organizations, with the flagship being the NAIA THRIVE captive insurance program. This helps institutions manage employee healthcare costs through group purchasing power rather than traditional fully insured plans.
Property & Casualty Insurance Programs
Placement and management of P&C insurance coverage, leveraging many years of risk management and commercial insurance expertise working with strong partners who independently represent hundreds of brokers, insurance companies and consultants in order to secure appropriate coverage placement for clients’ identified risks.
Financial and Business Continuity Services
Business continuity is at the forefront of all business operators and entrepreneurs. We have built a network and team that is set up to assist businesses and their owners to navigate this journey from starting a business to selling one and everything in between.
