The document discusses the evolution of risk management in corporate business management. It outlines three main implications of the current competitive environment: 1) companies' top lines are becoming more volatile; 2) the range of risks companies face is wider; and 3) firms and funders evaluate each other based on risk analysis abilities. As a result, risk assessment now includes new risks, higher senior management involvement, and inclusion in business plans. Risk management requires widespread company attention and risk managers should collaborate with operational departments to identify and mitigate risks. The goal is for risk managers to become essential partners that help measure and communicate risks to support business decision making.
