Culture and strategy misalignment impedes effective risk management - RIMS

A misalignment between culture and strategy is often the biggest impediment on the road to effective risk management, according to a new RIMS report.

In Building a Strategic Risk Function, RIMS explores opportunities for risk leaders to overcome hurdles and build a strategic risk function that addresses both internal and external risks, irrespective of the size and nature of their organisation.

“When it comes to managing risks, time is of the essence and attitude is everything,” the report states. “With the right mindset and through effective collaboration and due diligence, risk leaders will be able to keep pace with the changing dynamics of business environments. These improved synergies will allow organisations to sharpen their focus on risk and resilience, build a robust risk culture and transform their traditional risk function into a strategic risk function.”

The report includes a case study shared by Max Life Insurance’s risk management team and is broken into three sections that cover:

1. Assessing the Disposition of the CEO toward Risk Management
2. Assessing the Disposition of the Board and Executive Management toward Risk Management
3. Practical Insights on How to Transform the Risk Function

RIMS’ new report is available to members only.
