Most risk functions add value by helping management and the board identify, understand, assess, and then manage or mitigate downside risks. But Norman Marks argues that there is far more to risk management. It should be about helping the organization succeed and achieve its objectives. That is why he talks about "risk management for success". How does the risk practitioner work with management to take the right risks, recognizing that no enterprise will succeed if it doesn't take risks through what he calls informed and intelligent decisions. Join him for this presentation when he expands on this approach.

Strategic risk remains inconsistently addressed worldwide arising from diverse interpretations of the term and the absence of a universally accepted framework. However, Strategic Risk is no different from any other risk type. With clarity and structured approaches, managing Strategic Risk need not be shrouded in mystery. Its goal is the same as when managing any other risk type – help the business achieve its objectives.

Forward thinkers know risk management is most effective when done in advance. But what are prevailing standards and leading practices that promote risk management excellence? This presentation provides perspective on risk management standards that have “stood the test of time”. In particular, we focus on ISO 31000 (the dominant international standard) and the U.S. based COSO standard and how each has evolved. Commonly applied risk management maturity models and lessons learned in real world implementation are also included. We’ll conclude with perspectives on leading analytics that can help take any risk management program from “good to great”.

Understanding financial risk with respect to the financial models we use, from budgeting and valuation through M&A and capital raising, is a critical part of the finance function. Yet our current deterministic, static approach to financial modeling is sub-optimal at best given it cannot properly incorporate the dynamic, variable nature of real-world inputs or generate insightful, quantitatively rigorous outputs.
How do we resolve this fundamental flaw? By using @RISK to enhance our financial models to better understand the probabilities associated with the output metrics and sensitivity analyses undertaken. And, critically, through making this probabilistic approach commercial from day one.

CEOs normally have a wide range of worries that, depending on the challenges facing their organization, sector, or overall economic climate, can keep them up at night. Let's look together at how risks are perceived – ranging from a technological to reputational, market, financial, talent acquisition and retention, and regulatory standpoint. We will also explore how disruptive technologies and external threats affect top decision-makers’ IT risk awareness and how their organizations will evolve in a digital world.
