New Zealand organisations face two key challenges: low levels of governance maturity and a limited understanding of risk management. Without strong governance, organisations struggle to implement effective enterprise risk management (ERM) processes, making it difficult to anticipate risks and keep strategy on track. The pace of change has increased these pressures, and boards must now actively understand and manage risk appetite to navigate this complex environment.
What role should the board play in defining and applying risk appetite? Are boards regularly reviewing their risk appetite as the business environment shifts? How can organisations bring meaning to risk appetite, ensuring it’s more than just a theoretical concept? Do board members spend enough time reflecting on their capacity for risk, and what scenarios might push them beyond that limit? What are the warning signs of an unhealthy appetite for risk? How should the board prepare for extraordinary risks?
In this webinar, we explored the essential components of measuring risk appetite and how to continuously review and adapt it to best position your organization for success. Watch the webinar recording to learn how to elevate your governance and ERM processes to actively manage risks in an increasingly uncertain world.
