The Cornerstone Practice

As a leader in UK public service, education, or social enterprise, you navigate unprecedented complexity. Standard risk management offers checklists and compliance; it is not designed for the systemic challenges you face. It protects the status quo, but it does not secure the future.

I am Dr. Chris Doherty, and I founded The Cornerstone Practice to provide a fundamentally different approach.

My decades of real-world strategic leadership and doctoral-level research in risk systems are now augmented by cutting-edge AI. This synthesis—of human expertise and machine intelligence—allows me to move beyond reactive measures. It enables me to deliver predictive insights, real-time monitoring, and the profound systemic foresight that your mission demands.

I partner with a limited and select number of visionary leaders. My goal is to move beyond mere compliance to build true organisational resilience, providing the bespoke risk intelligence you need to navigate uncertainty with confidence.

A partnership with me delivers:

• Direct Access to a Doctoral-Level Expert: You work directly with me. No junior analysts, no diluted expertise.

• Foresight Delivered by My AI-Augmented Methodology: You receive intelligence that is predictive and evidence-based, not generic advice.

• A Singular Focus on Your Mission: Because I work with a select few, your challenges receive my full, dedicated attention.
