Regulator-informed governance for decisions that carry consequence
Jaei Advisory helps boards and leadership teams create the conditions for good judgement when decisions carry consequence. We bring a regulator-informed lens to governance, safety, health and wellbeing and regulatory decision-making.
Our work helps leaders make sense of risk, strengthen assurance, improve escalation and make decisions that can be explained, evidenced and defended.
Who we are
Janet Attwood
Founder and Managing Director
Janet Attwood is a regulator-informed governance adviser, Board Chair, non-executive director, facilitator, speaker and author.
She works with boards and leadership teams navigating complexity, scrutiny and change, with a particular focus on the governance of safety, health and wellbeing and the governance of regulatory decision-making.
Drawing on nearly two decades inside frontline regulation and current board leadership roles, Janet brings a grounded understanding of how decisions are made inside the boardroom and how they may later be tested by regulators, stakeholders and events.
Her work sits at the intersection of governance, risk, regulation and organisational behaviour. She helps boards strengthen oversight, ask better questions and create the conditions for good judgement before pressure becomes crisis.
Janet is also the author of Purpose Under Pressure: The Governance Conversations Boards Need Now, a practical book for boards, Chairs and governance leaders navigating complexity, scrutiny and change.
What this means for clients
Janet brings a regulator’s eye and a Chair’s understanding to complex governance issues.
This means clients receive practical support that connects boardroom judgement with the way decisions, systems and risks may later be tested.
Her work helps boards and leadership teams strengthen assurance, improve escalation, govern safety, health and wellbeing more effectively and examine whether regulatory decision-making systems are fair, consistent and defensible.
If your board or leadership team is navigating complexity, scrutiny, WHS governance concerns or a regulatory decision-making issue, I welcome an initial confidential conversation.
You do not need to have the issue fully defined before making contact. Often the first step is simply making sense of what is emerging.
