But it lacked the internal resources and supplemental knowledge to support the CMS buildout and elevate related practices to resolve those findings. The organization came to Spinnaker to deliver the needed remediation in both areas against an urgent timeline. ### **The Spinnaker Approach** Working with the client on project priorities and deadlines, we developed effective policies and procedures that shaped each CMS enhancement. Meanwhile, we trained the board and senior leaders on oversight responsibilities, including how to adequately assess risk and recognize applicable laws and regulations. Our consultants developed an organizational structure to maintain best practices and to review and approve future consumer policies and procedures. We also designed and implemented new testing protocols, compiled an enriched policy inventory and improved customer complaint responses. ### **The Client Benefits** Starting with better board and management oversight, the student lending organization now follows robust best compliance practices, improving the customer experience. Robust testing processes allow the organization to monitor performance against benchmarks and take early action if an issue emerges. Finally, employees now follow detailed policies and procedures for resolving customer complaints, while the client is better managing outside partners to align with compliance expectations.
