Does your Risk Program have a positive impact on your organizations bottom line? Can you prove it? Enterprise Risk Management is a fundamental and critical component in ensuring the strategic success of an organization. The ultimate goal of which is to allow the business to effectively manage uncertainties to enable the achievement of the business objectives. It should serve as an essential resource for business leaders and executives to make informed decisions, and serve as a critical input to Business Architects, Enterprise Architects, and Enterprise Security Architects to build strategically aligned architectures. However, the effective implementation of an enterprise risk management program is an endeavour lined with challenges and pitfalls which threaten to diminish the value of the program. This is demonstrated in a recent study that looked for a relationship that looked at organizations with mature enterprise risk management (ERM) and performance management systems (PMS) respectively, to see if those organizations performed better financially than those organizations with less mature programs. The study found an insignificant correlation between having a mature ERM and PMS and increased financial performance. In this session we will look at this problem to explore possible explanations, common problems, and ways to address the issue. In particular, we will look at how the SABSA Risk Management Framework can be leveraged on its own, or integrated with other Risk Management methodologies
