Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Risk management in a time of global uncertainty

Publicación: Zurich : Zurich Financial Services Group, 2012Notas: Sumario: Already on the upswing in many industries, the focus on enterprise-wide risk management has entered a more intense phase across a broad range of global companies since the 2008 financial crisis and recession. In a survey by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, over two-thirds of 1,419 business executives said risk management has become somewhat or significantly more important over the past three years. Most executives still feel their companies have a long way to go, however, in building an effective, riskaware culture. The Harvard Business Review Analytic Services study, which was sponsored by Zurich Financial Services Group, found that only 1 in 10 respondents said their executive management was highly effective at creating a strong risk-aware culture. And only 40% of respondents considered their approach to enterprise risk management (ERM) to be proactive, with an integrated process that involves the board and business and functional leaders at all levels of the organization. Over the past decade, and increasingly since the financial crisis, companies in many industries are either instituting ERM processes for the first time or improving existing processes. Today, for example, 42% of companies with 10,000 or more employees report that they have a chief risk officer, compared with only 11% three years ago. Yet companies with best practices in ERM continue to be concentrated in a few sectors that have traditionally been strong in this area: financial services, health care, and energy. By contrast, barely one-third of all respondents felt they were doing well at any of the six risk management capabilities they most often cited as critical to organizational performanceMateria / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Crisis financiera Organizaciones ERM Encuestas Organización interna Programas de gerencia de riesgos Otros autores: Harvard Business Review Analytic Services
