Companies Must Embrace Modern Risk Management

Risk management has never been more relevant in an increasingly volatile, complex, and hyperconnected world and should be considered a force multiplier. Yet, many large and small organizations have yet to deploy effective modern-day risk management.

How many organizations adjust/tweak their strategic plans as risks emerge and are amplified?

How many are considering future risks that may not have been identified during their initial strategic planning processes?

It should be noted that many organizations are practicing “some form” of risk management. Still, it does not meet the requirements needed to treat the current environment, especially given the velocity of risks.  This is especially true in small and medium-sized companies/organizations with entrepreneurial cultures, fewer regulatory demands, and more resource constraints. These businesses tend to view risk management as an unnecessary expense, yet they may be more susceptible and exposed to risks.

Effective risk management helps prevent crisis management.

Good day folks, The “value” of Enterprise Risk Management continues to be discussed and debated in the hallways/board rooms/schools.

ByKen Hackshaw

As companies develop their strategic plans, I submit that agility must be one of the pillars of that plan. Companies must employ horizon scanning, using both a microscope and telescope to ensure they are looking at not only what is happening and immediate (what is close) but also what can happen (i.e., future-proofing) and what is farther away….

Moving Beyond the “ROBOTICS” of Risk Management

As you prepare to face the week ahead (professionally and personally), I would like to take a small point of privilege and respectfully suggest that effective and modern risk management is not, cannot be, just the methodologies, the standards, or the processes. Modern risk management is not a stand-alone process or a “fait accompli.” Much more…
