"The role of the risk professional is under transformation"

Airmic has launched a major project to understand and analyse the future of the risk management profession. The research will be based primarily on a survey of the association, and its deputy CEO Julia Graham has urged members to take part.

Graham said: "Our profession is changing. The role of the risk professional is undergoing a transformation as organisations respond to the rapidly changing business landscape. We want to understand how risk management should be responding but we need the help of our members - the more survey responses we receive, the greater the success of the project."

The survey will only take 20 minutes to complete and all answers are anonymous. It is conducted by research specialists Longitude and respondents can choose to be entered into a draw to win one of three £100 Amazon vouchers.

The results will be revealed at the annual conference in Birmingham in June, and will be used to:

• Influence the future of the risk management profession;
• Provide a career benchmark for Airmic members;
• Understand the skills and experience needed for a successful career;
• Shape Airmic's future strategy.

Julia Graham: "Our members are at the heart of this project"

Ms Graham added: "Our members are at the heart of this project so we do urge you to take part in what is likely to be the most influential research ever conducted of the UK risk management profession."
