Читать книгу Enterprise Risk Management - Hardy Karen - Страница 8

This book is an update to the research report “Managing Risk in Government: An Introduction to Enterprise Risk Management,” published by the IBM Center for the Business of Government in 2009 and 2010. The practice of and interest in ERM in government has expanded since the original publication of that report, and this book is a reflection of the growth in this area.

Overall, ERM continues to be a tall order for federal risk managers to fill. To ensure success, all federal executives, managers, and employees in general need a blueprint for defining and executing effective risk management in their organizations. Readers should consider this book as a road map for sorting through the key elements that make up ERM success. It is designed to guide risk managers and champions of ERM through a practical thought process using highlighted, real-world work examples. For those in the workforce who have not been designated a specific role in ERM practice in their organization, this book provides a basic educational foundation that will equip any employee with an understanding of risk management.

This book will not answer all the questions about enterprise risk management, nor is it possible to cover all aspects of the subject in one publication. However, the reader will gain a better understanding of the key topics commonly related to ERM design and implementation. This book was written as a resource that can be shared with all employees, no matter what their role in an organization, because a basic understanding of the subject matter is the beginning of an evolving process. Readers are encouraged to maximize use of the book, tools, and other related resources available to reinforce the principles shared and increase awareness and practice of ERM.
