The Essence of ERM

From the outset, the core value of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has been its ability to empower companies to embrace upside risks confidently, aiming for corporate goals and innovation. Often compared to an automobile’s braking system, ERM provides the necessary control mechanisms to manage downside risks—such as losses, waste, and underperformance—thereby giving organizations the confidence to accelerate towards growth and innovation.

Research Insights

Investigations into ERM practices reveal a mixed picture. While many ERM programs excel at applying the ‘brakes’—that is, creating a defensive posture against significant losses or obstacles to objectives—they often fall short in engaging the ‘accelerator.’ This imbalance not only hinders confident risk-taking needed for growth but can also detract from overall value.

The Missing Link

The core issue lies in the failure to integrate a risk perspective into decision-making processes. Many ERM initiatives act as robust ‘brakes,’ yet lack a meaningful connection to the ‘accelerator’ of growth and innovation, leading to missed opportunities and stifled potential.
