Investing Literacy

Corporate Credit Solutions

Is your organization in need of corporate credit risk management solutions? Are you seeking to build or purchase such solutions from specialized vendors? Our consulting expertise is at your disposal.

The Light Brigade offers services in three areas:

 

Financial and Investment Literacy Education

The Light Brigade provides seminars, workshops and other tailored solutions for individuals and organizations seeking to improve investment knowledge and confidence. Our objective is to help clients make better investment decisions and attain prosperity. We often help small investors and those who want to have better conversations with their financial advisors improve their knowledge of the investment process.  We also work with corporate executives and their human resource managers to upgrade employees’ decision-making and investment literacy skills. Research has shown that employees who feel empowered are happier and more productive. In contrast, those suffering from anxiety, including the anxiety that results from concerns about finances, are less productive.
A more complete list of potential clients includes:

  • Corporate Human Resources departments
  • Small investors with or without professional financial services advisors
  • Investment clubs
  • Financial advisors
  • Certified accountants
  • Educators teaching investment literacy
  • Policy makers and regulators concerned with adding financial literacy to educational curricula
  • Service clubs and other organizations (for example, retirement homes, AARP, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, and libraries) interested in investment literacy as a way to add value to their members.

Our financial literacy content is available through the Light Brigade's Anyone Can Learn site.

 

Corporate Credit Risk Assessment Solutions

The Light Brigade works with a variety of organizations seeking assistance in the identification, quantification, and mitigation of corporate credit risk exposures. Typically, clients require help in deciding which vendor products are best for them, or whether they should attempt to build their own tools instead of licensing them from third party vendors.
Decision makers we often work with include:

  • Chief Risk Officers
  • Chief Credit Officers
  • Chief Financial Officers
  • Treasurers
  • Business leaders
  • Policy makers and regulators charged with formulating new or revised laws applicable to financial intermediaries

Our corporate credit risk content is available through the Light Brigade's Credit Solutions Demystified site.


Management Consulting Focusing on Decision Making in the Face of RiskLeveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround by Yuval Bar-Or

The Light Brigade assists managers and executives in improving their decision making skills. Capable decision making is considered to be among a leader or manager's most important skill sets. Decisions made in the face of risk or uncertainty tend to be the most difficult, and also most important.

We provide extensive material on risk, risk taking, risk management, leadership development, and decision making through our Respect Risk site.

Our expertise is particularly useful for executives struggling with corporate or organizational turnarounds. Please take a look at our podcasts on the subject of corporate turnarounds, as well as our founder's book, "Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround."
