Book Description
Traditional risk management programs focus on managing and mitigating harms - in other words, on avoiding failure. But survey after survey tell us this approach is not convincing executives and boards that risk management is helping them achieve their objectives. They see it as a compliance exercise: something they have to do rather than want to do. Norman Marks draws on his personal experience as an executive and builds on the thinking in his previous books, including World-Class Risk Management, Risk Management in Plain English, and Making Business Sense of Technology Risk, to explain how risk management should instead focus on achieving success. This book discusses how a consideration of what might happen can enable informed and intelligent decisions from the setting of objectives and corporate strategies through the daily execution of the business. Those decisions enable the appropriate taking of risk so that the organization has an acceptable likelihood of achieving its objectives. An assessment of risk management is recommended by a majority of corporate governance codes around the globe and required by the Standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The book includes a comprehensive maturity model that details the attributes of the highest level of maturity envisaged in this book, as well as management surveys that can be tailored for your organization. They can be used as the basis for an assessment by management, the risk officer, or the internal audit team.

Book Description
This book develops the notion that companies can succeed on the basis of risk management, much as companies compete on efficiency, costs, labor, location, and other dimensions. The reality of risk and how it impacts companies is that it is much more definite, often catastrophic and looks more like a shock. This is striking, as a difference between firms on risk different than a marginal difference in operating efficiencies, for example. Competing on Risk Management requires a discipline, a commitment to using information and recognizing shocks and then acting upon those to redistribute assets. This book will examine how leading firms that compete on risk have done this and showcase best practices and impacts to the capital structure of firms and their organizational formation. Contents:Introduction to RiskOverview of Risk DecisionsDealing With Shocks — Large Scale Risks Impacting Markets and IndustriesOperations Pose Embedded Risks to the EnterpriseReliance on Technology Increases Operational Risk — Often It Is Not ObviousDealing With Contagion and Persistence in RisksRisk Management as a Corporate CompetencyProtecting the Enterprise From Itself — Learning From History, Again Forming an Organization That Competes on Risk: Organizational ImplicationsDeveloping a Culture for Sound Risk ManagementToyota: Dealing With Crisis in a Major (Foreign) MarketCommunicating Risk Information in the EnterpriseBenefits of Competing on Risk Readership: Business professionals and students interested in the topic of risk management.
