This report highlights today’s multidimensional and complex environment and looks at the need to leverage multiple sources of data and insight to gain a broad perspective on risks, their linkages and their ripple effects.
Effectively managing new and complex risks that are reshaping global markets is one of the greatest challenges facing corporations, financial institutions and governments today. Geopolitical risks are fueling economic instability and have impacted energy and food security. At the same time, tariffs and evolving trade partners and patterns are altering international dynamics, while climate events are forcing manufacturers to reconsider where to locate factories and retailers to evaluate their overall sourcing mix. The list of risks goes on, making the landscape dramatically complicated and threatening.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the weakness of disconnected risk models, showing that fragmented data and siloed views of risk within an organization hamper the ability to anticipate hazards, identify trends and quickly act. The sheer number of risks that exist now and how they interconnect requires a holistic approach to risk management to fully understand potential exposure. Those that invest in unified, forward-looking analytics will be better positioned to foresee shocks and plan for recovery.
