The economic crisis illustrated that many organisations failed to predict and plan for the risks that they faced, leading to poor decision-making and business strategies.
The way that companies assess their risks is being scrutinised by the government, ratings agencies, regulators, investors and other key stakeholders. Therefore, it is essential to be able to proactively demonstrate that you are on top of the risk agenda.
Companies that treat risk management as a general management skill, as opposed to a corporate requirement, are more likely to create competitive advantage, avoiding damaging situations and facilitating better decision-making. For this to happen, Risk Management must become a formal and informal main board responsibility.
