Insurance Brokers Global: 2018-2030 ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

Dear colleagues,

I would like that you consider to read the following CITATIONS and comment on how could ISO 31000 standards and COSO ERM Risk Management Integrated Framework be useful for your organization and, how is INSURANCE part of your ENTERPRISE RISK TRANSFER solutions and alternatives.

ISO 31000 - RISK MANAGEMENT

"Risks affecting organizations can have consequences in terms of economic performance and professional reputation, as well as environmental, safety and societal outcomes. Therefore, managing risk effectively helps organizations to perform well in an environment full of uncertainty.

ISO 31000:2009

ISO 31000:2009, Risk management – Principles and guidelines, provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size, activity or sector. Using ISO 31000 can help organizations increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve the identification of opportunities and threats and effectively allocate and use resources for risk treatment. However, ISO 31000 cannot be used for certification purposes, but does provide guidance for internal or external audit programmes. Organizations using it can compare their risk management practices with an internationally recognised benchmark, providing sound principles for effective management and corporate governance.

RELATED STANDARDS

A number of other standards also relate to risk management.

  • ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk management - Vocabulary complements ISO 31000 by providing a collection of terms and definitions relating to the management of risk.
  • ISO/IEC 31010:2009, Risk management – Risk assessment techniques focuses on risk assessment. Risk assessment helps decision makers understand the risks that could affect the achievement of objectives as well as the adequacy of the controls already in place. ISO/IEC 31010:2009 focuses on risk assessment concepts, processes and the selection of risk assessment techniques." 

And, as "evidence reveals that only half of all small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make it beyond their fifth year, suggesting that running a successful business requires managing risks effectively, Making a commitment to better understand and manage risk is therefore key to helping SMEs survive and grow sustainably.

A new handbook has just been published to help SMEs proactively prepare for risk and protect their business. ISO 31000 – Risk management – A practical guide for SMEs gives hands-on guidance on how to make the most of ISO 31000:2009, the International Standard on risk management processes, and integrate good practices in both their strategic decisions and their day-to-day operations."

Thanks for sharing this article Sebastian. My experience is that large organizations have varying degrees of risk management. Some highly effective, some ineffective, and everything in between but not so with small businesses. Your statement that "evidence reveals that only half of all small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make it beyond their fifth year" rings true with me and I have seen similar research as well. It isn't all due to poor or missing risk management of course but better (in many cases 'any') risk management would help identify and manage risks such as undercapitalization, inadequate training, safety and health breaches, budget management, etc. One other aside is that I rarely if ever find businesses using the positive side of risk management in any meaningful way. For example, I've found that using ISO31000 principles and risk analysis offers a structured and helpful way to develop business plans.
