Lets talk about a new definition for enterprise risk management

Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)Enterprise risk management is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manage risk to be within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of entity objectives. https://www.coso.org

Risk & Insurance Management Society (RIMS)Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a method of systematically identifying, evaluating and prioritizing the activities and goals of an organization. Applying a common risk-based framework to the governance activities across departments, creates efficiency, drives better business decisions and strengthens strategic planning.https://www.riskmaturitymodel.org/about-the-rims-risk-maturity-model-for-erm/

A new cleaner definitionEnterprise risk management helps the organization to make decisions in the face of uncertainty.

Uncertainty is the lack of complete certainty, that is, the existence of more than one possibility. The “true” outcome/state/result/value is not known.

Risk is a state of uncertainty where some of the possibilities involve a loss, catastrophe, or other undesirable outcome.

What is the risk quantification? …is the first question now

Deciding on standalone business unit towers versus a combined enterprise tower

Developing long term strategies for limits

Bringing real perspective on risk

Using the quantification in stress scenario development (including ORSA)

Risk quantification of everything is not just a dream

18

Key Principles1. Anything of value can be measured

2. The goal is an estimate that is accurate with a reasonable level of precision (90% correct)

3. Think like Enrico Fermi (start with an absurd range and then narrow it down)Dr. Enrico Fermi

Key Principles1. Anything of value can be measured

3. Think like Enrico Fermi (start with an absurd range and then narrow it down)

The Estimation Process1. Start with building your loss event magnitude distribution

2. Then try to estimate event frequency

3. Road show and revise your estimate

As far as we know…. space insurance is a highly niche coverage…. and likely none of us are rocket scientists.

A look into the future or quantitative risk management

22

Vendor risk quantification today

• Risk and threat level is subjective based on a “gut feel” about risks and term variances

• Unclear separation of roles between term interpretation activities and risk assessment activities

• Creates gridlock because of broad qualitative conclusions and lack of business empowered decision making

A look into the future or quantitative risk management

23

Vendor risk quantification tomorrow

• Risk and threat level is objective based on quantitative contract modeling

• Clear separation of roles based on 3 lines of defense (business line management, risk management, & internal audit)

• Enable business management empowered decision making through quantitative results
