A Risk Manager’s Approach to Changing the Perception and Value of Risk

A recent survey of 500 global board members by EY revealed that risk management today is not always aligned with business strategy and is too entrenched in the here and now – revealing just how little value is placed on risk management’s role in setting of company strategy.

Today’s commercial and economic environment demands that boards step up their game with an intense focus on risk management. Boards have the capacity to reframe their organisation’s approach to risk management, yet all too often board members focus on setting the big picture strategy, with risk and compliance working at a purely operational level.

So how can a risk professional help the board see the value of risk management; from a department of “no” to a department of growth?
