Fay Feeney founded Risk for Good in 2010 to consult with corporate board chairs to thrive in a digital world. These boardrooms are being informed of the future in real time. The connected board uses technology insights to lead themselves while enabling their CEO to grow a “social business.”
Risk for Good advises corporate board leaders (chairs, lead directors and non-executive chairs) who want to leverage their time while leading successful boards.
We accelerate boardroom performance which results in enhanced support, strategy and communications for the the CEO and the company.
To enhance board functionality, we create “strategic board leadership” plans built on an enterprise risk management framework. This provides directors with tools that support and enable them to be great in the jobs they are already in. Focusing on directors’ skills and qualifications is critical to success, not just disclosure worthy.
We work to ensure that directors’ time is used wisely by matching director needs to resources and relevant education. We bring ideas forward to board chairs by looking at opportunities to enhance their board’s ongoing, engaged learning.
In a fast-moving, transparent world, we believe “business as usual” leadership is the biggest risk board chairs can take in 2011.
Risk for Good helps corporate board chairs who know that demands, disclosures and visibility are increasing at a rapid pace.
In this difficult and challenging climate, successfully leading your board to profitable outcomes for your shareholders will not be “business as usual”. Risk for Good is a resource designed to help board directors make better business decisions in an economy that is truly global and connected.
The use of technology and its impact on your business strategy will only gain importance in the years to come.
Fay Feeney brings her insight and experience as a seasoned risk management professional to help you listen, interpret and apply important issues that impact your agenda setting. She is an active participant in director’s education and an ardent fan of technology.
Fay brings an independent “outside-in” view of governance and leadership built on a successful career in: risk management, enterprise safety, health & environmental (sustainability & CSR) and human resources. She provides strategic insights on how to connect to real time information whether found on Linked In, Twitter, U Tube or Google. This is a competency that will strengthen director’s “duty of care” while improving their governance of these emerging strategic risks.
Listening and interpreting the social conversation while aligning with business strategy is top of mind for business leaders. These conversations are essential to delivering successful results in these dynamic, fast moving times. These are new competencies that customers, investors, shareowners and stakeholders expect to see put into action.
The emerging risks can include social media and it’s impact on enterprise risk management, regulatory and global trends, climate change, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, activist investors, compensation incentives & succession, transparency and disclosure.

Mary L. Shapiro, Chairman of the SEC: “The events of the last two years have transformed our world. Your companies, the SEC, the markets and our nation, all changed in significant ways, and on short notice, as each of us strove to react to the most significant economic crisis of our lifetimes.”
“Looking ahead, the next 18 months will likely bring further, rapid change if, as expected, financial reform legislation passes and we embrace the responsibilities it assigns the SEC”.
