Future of risk
Building a trusted risk function to succeed in a riskier world
Today, managing risk is riskier than ever.
Enterprises are facing an array of reputational, environmental, regulatory, and societal forces. To navigate this complex landscape, the C-suite should seek to embrace risk as an enabler of value and fundamentally transform their approach.
KPMG’s global survey of 400 executives reveals that their top priorities for the next few years are adapting to new risk types and adopting advanced analytics and AI. As organizations align risk management with strategic objectives, closer collaboration across the enterprise will be essential.
Five steps towards transforming risk management
Establish a risk vision
To foster a risk-aware culture, conduct a workshop with key stakeholders to discuss key threats, setting a vision, objectives, and guiding principles to align the executive team for the transformation.
Develop an enterprise-wide risk management strategy
The risk strategy — which should align directly with the organization's strategic goals — outlines key risk areas and integrates risk management into business processes.
Develop a communication plan
This plan should set out the objectives of risk management transformation, along with appropriate communication channels, to gain support across the C-suite and throughout the organization.
Identify risk management skills and plan to fill any gaps
A risk management mentorship program can stimulate interest in training and explain how risk impacts people in their daily jobs.
Create a data quality improvement plan
The aim is to enhance the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of risk management data by assessing and improving data governance, collection, storage and analysis.
