"This is the best, Sally March, Head of Risk Advisory, |
The Risk Summit 2010 gathered an unexpected and inspirational set of speakers to the stage on November 18th to debate the changing role of risk within business and to map out forecasts for particular risks that companies should have on their radar in the next 12 months.
The Summit also gave a launch platform to the work of the Economist Intelligence Unit where their latest risk intelligence report, Fall Guys - Risk Management on the front line was unveiled.
Accompanying academics, entrepreneurs, risk specialists and brand gurus who discussed the latest strategies, approaches and tools to manage corporate risk in an increasingly complex environment, was our closing key-note speaker, Kevin Ivison, a bomb disposal expert in Iraq, who exposed how controlled one must be when managing risk in life-or-death situations.
Challenging, thought-provoking and above all relevant but don't take our word for it:

Walking the wire: Exploring new opportunities and managing risks
As they emerge from recession, businesses around the world are walking a high wire between exploring new opportunities while closely managing risks. Consequently, risk management has new relevance for business as economies emerge from the economic downturn. Many companies are now regarding good risk management not simply as a "necessary evil" for compliance purposes, but as a tool that can be used to give them a competitive advantage.
In this webcast, an expert panel explores several questions around this issue, including:
• Can risk management be seen as an enabling factor, rather than a restraining factor?
• Can it offer organisations a competitive advantage?
• If the risk function were more central to an organisation's executive, what sort of value would it add?
• Is it possible to prove that risk management is cost-beneficial?
• What sort of cultural change needs to occur for this sort of shift to take place?
• Do risk managers now also need to be good at horizon-scanning?
• What is the best way to engage the board with risk issues?
