• For those who cannot attend the live presentations, each
webinar will be recorded and typically posted for viewing
within 24 hours. I know that due to the different time
zones, these recordings are important will get them
posted as soon as possible. In some cases, it could be
within several hours. The recordings will be made
available both on a secured YouTube channel and
available for download. Please note that if downloading,
the recordings are approximately 60 mbs each.
• Each participant will use their email to login at

Structured Review
How to make the most of this review:
• Take notes in course guide, but don’t waste
effort copying slides. (Slides are be available for
download)
• Questions are important. Yet time is limited to
cover all of the material.
• Goal is to cover all chapters in 10 weeks –
average of 1 chapter per meeting
• The primary purpose is to pass national exam.
Studying the Material
• Educational Objectives
• Terms and Phrases
• Text Exhibits
• Chapter Summary
• Optional
– Course Guide Review Questions
– Course Guide Application Questions
SUGGESTION: Read the Educational Objectives in
the course guide BEFORE reading the text.

Studying the Material
• Have an answer for ALL Educational Objectives
• Review all exhibits
• Use same terms and phrases – (EX: The text has 4 Pre-Loss Goals and 6 Post-Loss Goals;
then so do you!)
– This course requires memorizing content, not creating NEW examples.
– Use acronyms to keep the lists separate.
• Test questions frequently interchange information..
SUGGESTION: Divide material in the text and course
guide into units for EVERY Educational Objectives.

ERM Definitions ◦ Textbook Definition - An approach to managing all
of an organization’s key business risks and opportunities with the intent of maximizing shareholder value. Also known as enterprise-wide risk management.
◦ ISO – Coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk.
Risk – the effect of uncertainty on objectives
◦ Erike’s simple definition – purpose of ERM is to address risks that prohibit an organization from achieving its mission/strategic objectives.

All ERM definitions include concept of managing organization’s risk to help meet its objectives ◦ Everyone is a Risk Manager

Interdependency ◦ Traditional risk assumes risks are unrelated
◦ ERM tries to breakdown silos of management
Correlation ◦ Correlation increases risks
◦ Location of suppliers – (ie Japan)
Portfolio Theory ◦ A portfolio is a combination of risks and their
interactions with other risks
Traditional Structure ◦ Risk manager/risk management department manages
associated with accidental losses and/or insurable risk
◦ Mainly function is to transfer risk – insurance
◦ May include claims management function
ERM Structure ◦ A holistic view of risk that is much broader and includes all
potential risks both internal and external
Operational, Financial, Compliance, Reputational, Hazard
◦ CRO responsibility includes creating a risk culture in which everyone becomes a risk owner

Must have ◦ Senior leadership support
◦ Enterprise Risk Data
◦ Risk management process integrated
◦ Risk managers with authority to make and enforce changes
◦ Effective communication
Impediments to ERM ◦ Technology to share date across system – dashboards
◦ Blowing up silos
Risk management buys insurance
HR is responsible for benefits
Finance manages investments
Operations manages production
Safety function focuses on compliance

Subjective risk ◦ Perceived amount of risk based on an individual’s
or organization’s opinion.
Objective Risk ◦ The measurable variation in uncertain outcomes
based on facts and data.
The closer an organization’s subjective interpretation of risk is to objective risk, the more effective its risk management plan will likely be.
Reasons for difference in risks ◦ Familiarity and control
Air travel vs driving cars
◦ Consequences over likelihood
Zero probability vs. low probablity
“It can’t happen to me”
Overstating low probability event
Can be due to media event or knowing someone that it happened to
◦ Risk Awareness
Ostrich defense

Diversifiable Risk ◦ A risk that affects only some individuals, business,
or small groups
Building fire affects several buildings
Nondiversifiable Risk ◦ A risk that affects a large segment of society at the
same time
Earthquake, hurricane, flood, mortgage industry
Focus on source of risk and who manages the risk

The Expanding Risk
Universe
While reducing the Cost of
Risk is one of our primary
goals, we are also charged
with ensuring that University
faculty, staff, students,
guests, operations, and
assets are appropriately
provided proper protection in
case of an adverse event.
Our development of
programs to provide this
protection is as diverse as
the University itself, and
changes and grows as the
University does.

Internal Drivers ◦ ERM enables an organization to analyze the effect
of it risks on financial results and to select a level of risk based on its risk appetite and risk tolerance
Risk Appetite – The total exposed amount that an organization wishes to undertake on the basis of risk-return trade-offs for one or more desired and expected outcomes
Risk Tolerance – The amount of uncertainty an organization is prepared to accept in total or more narrowly within a certain business unit, a particular category or for a specific initiative.
External Drivers ◦ Legislation
◦ Regulatory requirements
◦ Risk management standards
◦ Credit rating agencies
◦ Investors
◦ Social responsibility
◦ Catastrophic events
