Practical guidance for modernising registries: from strategy to delivery

Registry Advisory Services

Modern registries sit at the centre of trust, transparency, and economic activity. Governments around the world are under increasing pressure to modernise these systems, while meeting rising expectations for digital services, interoperability, compliance, and resilience.

Foster Moore’s Advisory Services help registry organisations navigate this complexity with confidence. We work alongside governments to shape clear, achievable transformation pathways—grounded in deep registry expertise and informed by real-world delivery experience.

This is advisory work designed specifically for registries, by people who build and operate them.

Advisory services built for registries, not adapted from elsewhere:

Unlike generalist consultancies, Foster Moore’s advisory capability is rooted entirely in the registry domain. Our advisors bring decades of hands-on experience across company, land, personal property, beneficial ownership, and related public registers in jurisdictions around the world.

HOW WE HELP:

Registry Advisory by Foster Moore provides independent, registry-specific advisory services shaped by global delivery experience, benchmarking insight, and practical knowledge of how modern registers operate and evolve. From capability assessment and future-state design to interoperability and register value realisation, the practice helps governments make better-informed decisions about reform, investment, and long-term registry stewardship.

Capability Maturity Assessment

The Registry Capability Maturity Model® (RCMM®) helps registry authorities assess current capability, benchmark against international best practice, and define a practical path toward modern digital registry services. It provides a structured view across operating model, process, technology, governance, legislation, stakeholder engagement, and data management so leaders can identify gaps, set priorities, and sequence transformation with confidence

Target Operating Model Design

A Target Operating Model (TOM) sets out how a registry should operate in the future to deliver trusted, efficient, and fully digital services. Foster Moore works with registry leaders to define a solution agnostic future-state operating blueprint across service design, organisation, processes, technology, data, and governance, supported by a phased roadmap for implementation and change.

Registry Advisory  Interoperability

Registry Interoperability Enablement

Interoperability enables registries to exchange trusted data securely, consistently, and in real time across government systems. Foster Moore helps jurisdictions design the legal, operational, semantic, and technical foundations for connected registers, reducing duplication, improving data quality, and supporting more integrated digital public services.

Jurisdictional Valuation Model for Registers

The Jurisdictional Valuation Model for Registers helps governments understand, evidence, and maximise the strategic value created by their registers. It provides a structured approach to assessing how register data supports regulatory effectiveness, economic activity, service delivery, transparency, interoperability, and wider public value, creating a stronger case for investment, reform, and long-term stewardship.

EXPERT ADVISORS, BACKED BY REAL REGISTRY EXPERIENCE:

Foster Moore’s advisory services are led by practitioners who have built, governed, and modernised registries from inside government. Our senior advisors have spent decades designing registry frameworks, leading national registry organisations, delivering legislative reform, and overseeing major transformation programmes across multiple jurisdictions.
 
The team includes industry leaders such as Bill Clarke, John Murray, and Justin Hygate, whose experience spans registry operations, regulatory policy, and large-scale digital modernisation.

Alongside their advisory work, our experts regularly publish insights and thought leadership to help governments navigate complex registry transformation challenges.
