-Deloitte report highlights need for business to better use tools, technology to monitor strategic risks
Global business executives jointly rank pace of innovation (30 percent) and increased regulation (30 percent) as the key strategic risks forecast to impact their business strategy over the next three years, according to the Risk Sensing: The (evolving) State of the Art report released today by Deloitte. Talent (25 percent) and reputation (24 percent) also ranked high.
The survey conducted with Forbes Insights, asked 155 C-level executives from companies representing major industries around the world about their companies’ risk sensing capabilities and the publication outlines an approach to developing and enhancing the risk sensing process. Risk sensing employs human insights and advanced analytics capabilities to identify, analyze, and monitor emerging risks to the organization’s business model, long-term viability, and ability to create value.
“The majority of executives surveyed have strategic risk sensing capabilities in their organizations. However, these capabilities often overlook key elements, lack technical depth, or leave the organization open to the very risks that risk sensing should be protecting against,” said Fadi Sidani, partner and Enterprise Risk Services leader at Deloitte Middle East.
Additional key findings include:
“A starting point for monitoring strategic risks would be to identify the long term objectives of the organization—those, that if negatively impacted, would alter the key forces that drive your sector. Those forces can be organized into domains, such as economic, regulatory, customer, technological, operational, funding, and research and development, and include scientific, engineering, or other advances that could affect basic drivers of value, ” said Sidani.
