From the boardroom to the classroom to the newsroom, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a hot topic. Despite this, a standard definition of ERM remains elusive, and the range of practices falling loosely under the heading of ERM is vast and growing.

Some sectors manage industry-specific risks with a high degree of sophistication, while others have a less-refined approach. It is a rare organisation that intelligently manages the full spectrum of risk by assessing and addressing risk from all perspectives and quarters.

Since it occurs infrequently, when ERM is done well it deserves special designation. The Deloitte term for these model organisations is 'Risk Intelligent Enterprises'.

What characterises a Risk Intelligent Enterprise?
The attached whitepaper, the first in Deloitte & Touche LLP's Risk Intelligence Series, discusses key concepts and provides real world examples of approaches to ERM and suggested steps for bringing 'Risk Intelligence' to your organisation.
