Risk management has come of age in recent years. Senior executives and boards have become more concerned with ensuring that the management teams which report to them have robust and ‘fit for purpose’ risk management processes in place. Zero failure is impossible, if not too expensive to achieve. However, the expectation is that the risk profiles are known and that mitigating processes are in place to give reasonable comfort as to possible outcomes and impacts.
Risk management is now viewed as an integral component of how organisations are governed and how they comply with the external "rules and laws" of the sectors and territories they do business in. Embedding risk management in the "business as usual" operations of the business is by far the hardest element of achieving enterprise-wide risk management – but getting it right delivers the most benefits.
