Whitepaper

The Financial Times and Oliver Wyman, an international management consulting firm, have just released their second annual Global Emerging Risk Report. Based on a survey of 650 senior executives at companies around the world with more than $1 billion in revenues, the white paper examines what executives consider to be the biggest risks to their businesses and evaluates the methods used to identify and assess potential threats.

The report confirms that three years since the financial crisis started, most companies still fail to integrate emerging risk information into their decision making. Most are not focusing on potential threats that are seemingly unrelated to their businesses, while less than half use critical risk management tools. At a time of systemic uncertainty and volatility, this report makes recommendations for how risk management programs should address not only traditional risks but also new risks that threaten to change the rules of the game.
