The 7th Annual Global CEO Survey focuses on enterprise risk management. Only now being codified, enterprise risk management provides a framework for CEOs and management teams to deal effectively with uncertainty, and the risks and opportunities associated with uncertainty, in order to enhance value. A framework and new perspectives on best practices are important additions to management knowledge, but they leave unexplored many dimensions of the actual experience of CEOs and their companies.
Although CEOs today tend to be optimistic, what risks do they perceive in the environment and within their companies? How deeply is formal enterprise risk management embedded in their organisations? Are there CEOs and companies today that demonstrate exceptional skill in enterprise risk management? We are grateful to the nearly 1,400 CEOs who have taken part in the 7th Annual Global CEO Survey, which explores those questions and more.
