Welcome to Z/Yen

Z/Yen helps organisations make better choices - our clients consider us a commercial think-tank that spots, solves and acts. Our name combines Zen and Yen - “a philosophical desire to succeed” - in a ratio, recognising that all decisions are trade-offs. Z/Yen’s mission is to be the foremost risk/reward management firm.

Risk/reward management underpins Z/Yen’s belief that good decisions must:

enhance reward: decisions on opportunities and new strategies;
control risk: decisions about eliminating, avoiding, mitigating or pooling risks;
reduce volatility: decisions that increase certainty or consistency of performance.
