GRC Sphere is blazing a trail to identify, prioritize, crowdsource and benchmark Key Performance Indicator’s (KPI’s) and best practices. GRC Sphere offers executives and finance, accounting and GRC professionals a number of proven ways to collaborate, virtually, so that they can work together to deploy and monitor KPI’s in near real-time.

Besides leading the formation of GRC Sphere, Phil is a GRC consultant, educator, writer, speaker and mentor / coach. He loves to collaborate with others on business transformation strategies, enterprise integration and GRC best practices. Phil is best known for his leading-edge work in GRC convergence benchmarking using the “Big 9” strategic shareholder value measurements.
Phil is a lead moderator for a number of LinkedIn’s largest communities of Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) professionals, with several topping 50,000 members.
Phil’s industry benchmarking passion arose in 2010 when Phil’s boutique consultancy, RuleSphere International, Inc. built the industry’s first educational course on GRC and business / technology convergence. What set this “enterprise integration” course apart from theory-only courses was that Phil used real-world case studies of blue chip firms and actual 5 year rolling averages of 6 strategic shareholder value measurements to guide executives on what to expect from a world class GRC program initiative.
Before leading RuleSphere, Phil worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a process improvement consultant for highly regulated industries. He is a passionate advocate for the “business rule approach to governance and compliance” and is heavily involved with Predictive Risk Analytics and other automated rule and process strategies, such as Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) and Continuous Auditing (CA) which are used to drive GRC advancements forward.
Phil lives with his wife on an 18th century farm in Harvard, Massachusetts, USA where he enjoys hobby farming as well as salt water activities and hiking.
