Organisations are not paying enough attention to emerging risks, preferring to focus on easier-to-manage visible risks, according to a report published today by Airmic in association with Marsh. It argues that the challenges associated with emerging risks necessitate a new approach to how they are managed.

Airmic today publishes a boardroom edition of its flagship research report, Roads to Resilience. The report provides advice for boards and senior executives who are seeking to manage risk and resilience in the context of the digital age.

Risk management is moving from the back office to centre stage, creating opportunities for risk and insurance professionals to reposition themselves as valued strategic business partners, the results of the 2019 Airmic member survey have revealed.
