.

November 13, 2024

New York (November 13, 2024) – Ignoring risks interactions and interconnectedness may be a company’s greatest risk, according to RIMS new Executive Report titled, “Understanding Interconnected Risks.”

Authored by RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council members Michael Zuraw and Tom Easthope, the report explores the importance of developing a holistic view of the interconnected risks facing the organization. The report provides risk professionals with strategies to analyze and assess these risks, including leveraging surveys, modelling, as well as tips to visually present risk relationships to senior leadership to drive a better understanding of the organization’s complex risk environment.

“Impacts from interconnections are becoming larger, faster, and more frequent as globalization and economic development evolve, the pace of change continues to accelerate and life becomes more digitized,” the report states. “While the importance of interconnected risks may resonate with risk managers, the next challenge lies in how to address them.”

The “Understanding Interconnected Risks” executive report is exclusively available to RIMS members only for the next 90 days. To download the report, visit RIMS Risk Knowledge library at www.RIMS.org/RiskKnowledge.
