Every organization is at a different stage with their risk management practices, but regardless of where you are, you are making plans for 2018 on how to take the next step …and trying to figure out how it all works together.
Before I get into the ERM Insights by Carol resources, here are a few sources I read to stay up-to-date on general news and specific ERM commentary:
- North Carolina State University’s ERM Initiative, including their 2017 State of Risk Oversight report.
- St. John’s University Center for Excellence in ERM, including director Paul Walker’s blog at RiskAcumen.com and LinkedIn profile.
- Norman Marks’ blog and World Class Risk Management book
- Enterprise Risk Magazine
- Risk Management Magazine
- Common business publications for strategy, leadership, organizational culture, and similar topics, including Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Inc. Magazine, and numerous daily news sites.
Of course, my way of thinking about enterprise risk management is not necessarily mainstream…so I want to also provide you with a compilation of the top recommended ERM Insights by Carol resources. Note that you will find links to reference resources within many of these articles.
