HOW DO WE KNOW THE BOARD IS ACCEPTING

APPROPRIATE RISKS TO CREATE REQUIRED

VALUE?

GovernanceCommittee.com

Ad hoc

•Undocumented; in a state of dynamic change; depends on individual heroics

Preliminary

•Risk defined in different ways and managed in silos. Process discipline is unlikely to be rigorous.

Defined

•A common risk assessment / response framework is in place. Organization-wide view of risk is provided to executive leadership. Action plans implemented in response to high priority risks.

Integrated

•Risk management activities coordinated across business areas. Common risk management tools and processes used where appropriate, with enterprise-wide risk monitoring, measurement and reporting. Alternative responses analyzed with scenario planning. Process metrics in place.

Optimized

•Risk discussion is embedded in strategic planning, capital allocation, and other processes and in daily decision-making. Early warning system to notify board and management to risks above established thresholds.
