Risk Management for Corporate Leaders

As companies adapt to the aftershocks of the global recession, senior executives and boards are discovering that risk management has never been more important. The financial crisis revealed that risk management structures break down just when they are needed most because of siloed and fragmented processes and a lack of senior executive and board support. To be fully effective, senior executives must ensure that strategic and competitive considerations are embedded within their risk management processes and structures. Harvard Business School faculty have developed Risk Management for Corporate Leaders to help managers and board members identify the different types of risk facing their organizations, achieve an appropriate balance between innovation and risk, and protect the enterprise from the consequences of unexpected events.
