Strategy & Leadership

Walking the wire

August 05, 2010

Global, Europe

In this webcast, an expert panel explores several questions around this issue, including:

  • Can risk management be seen as an enabling factor, rather than a restraining factor?
  • Can it offer organisations a competitive advantage?
  • If the risk function were more central to an organisation's executive, what sort of value would it add?
  • Is it possible to prove that risk management is cost-beneficial?
  • What sort of cultural change needs to occur for this sort of shift to take place?
  • Do risk managers now also need to be good at horizon-scanning?
  • What is the best way to engage the board with risk issues?

This is the first in a series of webcasts to be published as part of the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2010 Risk programme. The second can be viewed here.
