 Risk management has become an area of significant concern for numerous companies in today’s volatile marketplace. However, a number of executives are still grappling with what needs to be done to protect their organizations.

The research found that risks may lurk in unexpected places, and that certain events can have such devastating effects that many organizations never recover from the losses. In the paper, Deloitte identifies which factors potentially became "value killers" and explains what might be done to address such threats.
