​Mitigating Enterprise Risks, Fortifying Organizational Resilience & Enabling Growth – The TULIP Way!
At TULIP, we recognize that traditional risk management frameworks often under-evaluate two critical elements of organizational growth and resilience: people risks and contract risks. Our innovative service model bridges this gap by delivering operational excellence and integrity through a sophisticated, risk assessment approach that addresses ways of working and ways of operating to understand how people and/or contracts are impacting business outcomes.
In organizations with a safety-first culture, we offer a proprietary, tech-enabled solution for real-time monitoring and insights of holistic safety risks. Our OrgSafe Instincts (OSI) technology is a comprehensive analytics tool that offers practical and tactical strategies for mitigating and managing organizational vulnerabilities with an expanded safety risk lens on people and operations. OSI integrates multi-dimensional safety indicators into one decision-ready interface to detect organizational risks early.
So whether you lead with safety or some other core value, TULIP can help you navigate risks, known and unknown, with a data-led solution to strengthen and align systems, processes, policies and practices for fortifying organizational resilience and long-term growth. In this AI age, decisions are accelerated and risks are amplified - the future belongs to organizations that understand proactive risk management as a strategic advantage.

DIFFERENTIATED VALUE:
​​
What sets TULIP apart is the 360-degree risk lens we utilize to evaluate and calibrate organizational resilience and long-term growth by centering people and contracts. All of our services are guided by a performance, profit and integrity strategy to enable proactive cost-avoidance measures, providing an additional layer of protection to the bottom line that's often absent in conventional risk management strategies. This human- and operations-centric approach helps identify and mitigate risks that are otherwise unmitigated or under-mitigated traditional frameworks.
​
​At TULIP, our mission is revolutionize risk management by placing human capital and contractual intelligence at the center of organizational strategy, transforming risk from a defensive posture into a strategic catalyst for sustainability, innovation, and long-term growth. By focusing on both contract and people risks, we build genuine organizational resilience by creating more robust and adaptable risk management strategies that stand the test of time for long-term growth positioning. We call this The TULIP Way!

DATA-DRIVEN SERVICE OFFERINGS
At TULIP, our data-driven analysis is captured in a customized data reporting format. Therefore, we don’t reuse templates to tell your organization’s unique data story.

That’s a data story that cannot be standardized - so at TULIP, every data report we deliver is customized.
OUR FOUNDER
With over 25 years of combined legal and business professional experience, Shamanda R. Joseph, Esq. has garnered invaluable leadership skills by serving as a trusted advisor to C-suite, corporate and public sector leadership clients in multiple industries. Commonly known as Mandi, she has a keen ability to balance business objectives with legal, regulatory and policy risks all while implementing strategic initiatives to meet or exceed organizational goals. Mandi’s overall strategic approach focuses on assessing, analyzing and balancing strategies to safeguard revenue and enhance profitability with built-in controls to effectively manage risks and clearly measure success. With the proprietary TULIP DEI P.R.O. Methodology and an innovative enterprise risk management tool, Mandi has created an approach to risk analytics & reporting that will transform risk management, particularly for de-risking DEI, from vague and anecdotal to data-led and valid. More specifically, TULIP's integration of DEI into commercial operations processes is a profit-enhancement strategy that puts an organization's greatest assets at the forefront of running a business organization. TULIP's overarching objective is to unlock new levers for driving long-term growth and sustainability through disciplined and differentiated risk management practices. With this comprehensive approach to driving commercial operations excellence, TULIP's mission is to manage risks, lead with a quality mindset to deliver products and services, enhance productivity and ultimately and positively impact the bottom-line in doing business.
Mandi's formal education includes a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) from Emory University (Goizueta Business School) in Atlanta, GA and a Juris Doctor from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, AL. She also completed post-baccalaureate coursework in African-American Studies at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, GA.

Her son is credited as the "brainchild" behind the company's creative name, TULIP, which he came up with at the age of 10 years old. Mandi envisions TULIP as her son's legacy. In the meantime, she seeks to grow TULIP to a top-performing business that exceeds client expectations by delivering value with outcome-driven services.
