Enterprise Risk Management
Today’s world is becoming increasingly complex, and change happens quickly. Natural disasters, geopolitical events, cyber threats, increasing regulatory scrutiny, technology paradigm shifts, and supply chain disruption can quickly overwhelm a company’s ability to respond effectively to these challenges. Dealing with risk in a reactive, siloed manner is no longer sufficient – what’s needed is a consistent and comprehensive approach for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks before they happen. Enterprise risk management (ERM) is recognized as an important management tool that can drive significant value for a company, and is an integral component of good corporate governance.
Getting ERM right is difficult; many are challenged by the concepts or implementation.
