Show Notes

“The common element is very similar between organisations. What you need to understand is the environment you're working within, the stakeholders that you have and their agendas.”

Between impressively varied roles at Fulham FC, Harrods & and Allianz, Nick Brazier is evidence that when you understand your environment, third party management demands a similar skillset.

Having now set up a third party management function at Close Brothers, Nick joins us on Talent Talks to break down the fine balance between risk management and agility, the need for a properly structured team, and how our industry can act to improve the talent pool.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

  • Balancing risk management with agility and entrepreneurialism
  • Creating a 3rd party management framework with buy-in across the organisation
  • The need for a properly structured team, making the most of everyone’s skill sets
  • Talent acquisition, and what the industry can do to attract more great candidates
