5. Reliable Returns, Risk Appetite, Risk Anticipation: the symbiosis challenge
Emerging Markets demand clarity on risks, as political in-fighting, social unrest, militant threat, fluid
economic policy and natural disasters impact operations and strategies harder
The expectations of management from shareholders, business partners, clients and staff during crises
or challenges can escalate from seeking guidance and clarity, to needing immediate and critical
intelligence based decisive intervention
Is your Risk Management model sufficiently intelligence based, to „respond‟ to such events, not
simply „react‟? Is it a „box ticked‟ or a platform for risk mitigation?
“Why couldn‟t we see this coming?” how to respond to the question always asked during or following
periods of operational duress – consider an alternative service to „separate you from your competitors
during a crisis‟
