Risk and Compliance Consulting with a Difference
Objectivus is a boutique-consulting firm with a major difference. We offer
experienced industry experts to work with clients in partnership to help, advise and
solve problems through our direct, first-hand experience in financial services . We
only employ market experts in the required field of work. Our clients do not waste
time and money „educating‟ our consultants, they arrive immediately able to help
and leave without taking away intellectual property. We aim to add value, transfer
knowledge and advise in a proportionate way to meet our clients‟ requirements. We
know from our own experience of engaging consultants that clients too often spend
a disproportionate amount of time explaining and teaching consultants rudimentary
aspects of the business, we aim to solve that problem.

29. A Message from the Managing Director
I think the whole rationale behind Storm-7 Consulting is change. Some time ago I carried
out a detailed analysis and assessment of how companies and organisations were
organising and delivering financial conferences. I realised that there was an absolutely
pressing demand to do things differently, to innovate, and to leverage new ideas and
technologies to re-invent the delivery of financial conferences. I am quite sure that
people out there will say that I do not know what I am talking about. But I can promise
you that I do. I can promise you that Storm-7 Consulting will bring about change. Storm-
7 Consulting will create a brand new style of financial conference that will fuse luxury
with unique combinations of expertise, superior materials, innovative new ideas, and
sophisticated new content delivery technologies.
Storm-7 Consulting – "It's time to step into our future".
