Design Diagnostics

Design Diagnostics works with Boards and Executives in financial services when performance, compliance, or reputation are at risk. We lead high-stakes interventions across remediation, turnaround, wind down, and transformation — where urgency is real, certainty is scarce, and reputational stakes are high. With over 60 years of leadership experience, we’ve delivered board-grade outcomes in banking, consumer finance, wealth, and legal services — preventing enforcement actions, restoring control, and protecting value at pace. We’re typically brought in to replace Big 4 consultancies — trusted to act decisively, discreetly, and cost-effectively. Our work has helped resolve hundreds of millions in issues, impacting more than a million customers. WHAT WE DO Remediation | We manage regulatory and conduct issues with discretion and precision — preventing sanctions, protecting brand integrity, and maintaining continuity. Turnaround | We stabilise performance under pressure — re-establishing governance, rebuilding controls, and restoring confidence. Resolution & Wind Down | We execute exit strategies that preserve value, meet regulatory expectations, and minimise disruption. Transformation | We drive critical change programmes to measurable outcomes — sharpening governance, surfacing risk early, and ensuring delivery.
