INTELLIGENT RISK MANAGEMENT Seven Practical Steps to a Strong Risk Culture & Financial Maturity

摘要

Just as work crews do not simply arrive on the jobsite to build complex buildings, safety systems do not just happen. They are a product of a leader's vision, design work and a blueprint. Risk architecture is a requirement of being a leader. In complex environments, the instinct is to lead through top-down programs fueled by policies and compliance. Intelligent risk management speaks to transitioning to platforms fueled by inclusion and structure. The research and development work show that stakeholders want to be engaged and respect accountability at all levels. They are not looking for accountability that is driven through the fear of some form of punishment or not getting a reward, but rather through the structure that supports both risk systems and all stakeholder groups improving. Mastery of process is powerful. By building in accountability to process through a spreadsheet workbook founded in enterprise risk management principles, risk systems will improve, and this built-in positive accountability will drive strong cultures. The work is only hard when a leader chooses to take on the complexities (obstacles and opportunities) alone. Intelligent risk management is about operating the process area as a business function and getting results through inclusion and sustainable structure.
