Thomas L. Barton, William G. Shenkir, Paul L. Walker - Making Enterprise Risk Management Pay Off: How Leading Companies Implement Risk Management

Lessons in risk management from world-class practitioners.

Risk managers can no longer operate in a vacuum: they must understand all the risks that impact today's enterprise, and involve all of the firm's leaders in managing those risks. Enlightened companies are meeting these challenges through enterprise risk management: a set of revolutionary techniques that go beyond mere "control" to contribute measurable business value.

This book takes you behind the scenes at companies that are leading the way in developing and deploying enterprise risk management. You'll learn how they're developing new tools for identifying today's new risks; how they're improving the accuracy of their risk assessments and recalibrating their responses-and how enterprise risk management can identify not just debacles and "downsides," but breakthrough growth opportunities as well.
