ERM - A Solution for Every Organization
Business risk management is something that most managers will say they do on a daily basis as part of their job. When probed to explain the process, however, the answers get less specific. While most other areas of business have seen the need to establish mature, sustainable and measurable processes, business risk management tends to still be done on an intuitive level, with no real data to support or validate its effectiveness. The advance of technology, the accelerating pace of business, globalization, regulation, increasing financial sophistication and the uncertainty of the economy all contribute to the growing number and complexity of risks. To say these are managed intuitively without structure, reporting and measurement can no longer be the best way to approach understanding and managing these risks.
