Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

Enterprise Risk management is a process and approach aimed at managing and monitoring the opportuntites and threats related to the achievement of the organisational objectives. It is about building resilience to manage through challenging times while developing the capabilities to exploit market opportunities and build competitive advantage.

Risk management is an area many organisations find particularly challenging to manage from a strategic execution perspective. Too often regulatory demands are the driver of risk management efforts rather than business imperatives such as revenue improvements, cost reductions or developing organisational capabilities to exploit market opportunities.

• Implementation of frameworks such as COSO Enterprise Risk Management framework, BS31100, ISO31000
