The “risk centric” approaches to managing risk have not delivered the desired benefits in terms of preventing significant failures and achieving business objectives with high level of confidence. In this session, Tim Leech shared guidance on an alternative approach which involve identifying the top value creation and preservation objectives and making conscious decisions on: –
- which objectives warrant the cost of formal (versus informal) risk assessment,
- the level of risk assessment rigour, and
- whether senior management and the board want independent assurance on the retained risk position linked to those objectives.
Tim proposed a new paradigm for the profession – Strategy and Value Oversight and covered following topics: –
- Understanding the difference between “risk-centric” and “objective-centric” approaches to risk management
- Why the risk-centric approach isn’t helping management and boards make better resource allocation decisions and meet escalating risk oversight duties?
- Using top value creation and preservation objectives as starting point for ERM
- The role of boards, senior management, owner/sponsors, risk specialists, and internal audit teams in STRATEGY AND VALUE OVERSIGHT
