The Future of Enterprise Risk Management: Answering the Value Questions

Date and Time (EDT): 
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 - 2:00pm - Wednesday, March 7, 2012 - 3:00pm

Enterprise Risk Management may be at a turning point. Many studies show that Boards and senior executives believe it is important and want more information about risk management generally. Other studies show an expectation gap;  stakeholders are not satisfied with progress to date and with the results of existing ERM initiatives. Something has to give.

This webcast will summarize the status of Enterprise Risk Management today with reference to recent studies by COSO and others. The analysis will suggest the basis for a new approach to ERM and provide practical guidance for getting started or re invigorating existing approaches. Part of the secret of successful, sustainable ERM is deciding what to leave out. Focusing ERM resources and implementation strategies on business value drivers and business objectives is critical.

The webcast will answer three questions:

  1. Where is the fundamental value of the business? What business results should ERM focus on?
  2. What activities or processes drive that business value? What is the basic business model?
  3. What are the killer risks?  Where should you look for risks that cause catastrophic value loss?

This webcast will provide specific examples and practical guidance for Boards, senior executives and GRC professionals.
