Embedding ERM in Insurance: Making It Happen

Insurers make it their business to understand risk, which is why they have been leaders in recent years in the efforts to develop and implement enterprise risk management (ERM) techniques.

And yet, we've witnessed the unprecedented collapse of some industry giants. These failures have raised troubling questions. Does ERM really work? How can companies get the most reward from risk without compromising their financial strength?

Insurance companies remain convinced that enterprise risk management delivers rewards, but many continue to struggle with integrating ERM into their business.
