Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur, so that risk handling activities may be planned and invoked to mitigate adverse impact on achieving a company’s objectives.

Too often, companies are reluctant to invest into formal ways of managing risks, usually because they ignore the tremendous benefits of that discipline. At best, they conduct one or two risk identification sessions per year but fail to do any follow-up on the assessments and treatment of the risks, thus making the entire exercise futile and frankly useless.

We, at Pragmatic Edge, strongly disagree with such ad-hoc, one-time practices. We advocate a formal framework to identify, assess, treat and continuously monitor risks, with strong buy in and sponsorship from Top Management.
