Getting risk managers to the top table

Abstract

Discusses how risk managers can improve style and methods of their techniques. Sets out perspectives based on the author’s experiences as a director of Barclays Group and shows how to gain entry to the “top table” of management. Itemizes the four main drivers to make risk management an interesting top table topic; first, directors are concerned with matters of corporate governance; second, top tables are further using a broader “balanced scorecard” to manage the organizations; third, help inform capital debates on the top table and last, a growing interest in “new” areas of risk. Urges opportunities to be seized to accept the coming challenges.
