The name ‘HAELO’ is based on the old English Anglo-Saxon word for health and prosperity, chosen to reflect our mission of increasing organisational resilience (health) and delivering results (prosperity).
People are the intelligence core of organisations. However, from experience, we know business intelligence favours reductionism meaning information is decomposed into smaller data sets resulting in an incomplete and unrepresentative view of the operating reality. Therefore, new ways of structuring, assembling and distributing human intelligence (HUMINT) are necessary – because, simply, people closest to the reality on the ground have greater knowledge of issues than far removed decision-makers.
This is especially important for heavily regulated firms. The world is moving so fast, and industries being disrupted almost overnight, regulators and the regulated are struggling to keep up. Increasingly, regulations are becoming less effective. The result of this is the cost of demonstrating compliance is rising dramatically.
