Join us for an engaging webinar where we unpack the power and simplicity of Quantitative Enterprise Risk Management (Quant ERM) and explore how it unlocks the full value of your ERM programme with only a small change in the way your risks are assessed. We'll uncover the transformative power of quantitative assessment in understanding how much your risks are losing you and how those losses are distributed across the enterprise, bringing actionable decision insights to managing risks on an enterprise scale.

In this webinar, our experts will share their thoughts on the following topics:
• The immediate value of Quant ERM;
• Better, richer prioritisation of risks and controls.
• Economic assessment of risk impact, accommodating the full uncertainty of risk outcomes and yet providing actionable information how to balance control costs and losses.
• Deeper understanding of how risk exposure is distributed across the organisation in terms of operating units, risk categories or functions, products and services and so on.
• How Quant ERM takes its point of departure in ERM;
• The goals are the same: Identification, assignment of ownership, analysis, planning mitigation and tracking.
• Quant brings in reach the aspiration to optimise control spending and focus resources and attention where it makes a substantial economic difference.
• If you have an ERM programme, most of the work is done.
• The transition to a quantitative risk programme is a light lift.
• How non-economic impacts can also be accommodated for a richer picture of the risk landscape.
• How quant ERM doesn't require data to add substantial value, but that data can be leveraged later if it makes sense to do so.

Whether you're a seasoned risk management professional or a corporate leader seeking to enhance organisational resilience, this webinar will equip you with practical insights and strategies to leverage the full potential of Quantitative ERM.

Whether its emerging ESG requirements, Operational Resilience regulations or the increased volume of Cyber Attacks - expectations for how you manage your third party relationships - and more specifically the risk within those relationships - have never been higher.

Combined with the increased dependence on third parties to actually run your business and deliver your goods & services to your customers - this creates a perfect storm for your third party risk program which is likely already overwhelmed.

The Highest Common Denominator: Increasing Expectations Of Supply Chain Risk

You're well aware of how crucial it is to bring consistency to risk management strategies. Qualitative and semi quantitative heat maps are limited in their ability to describe risk in a faithful way that is understood by both risk owners and executives. That's where a quantitative approach to risk management comes in. It offers a reliable way to measure risk, providing you and your executive team with concrete analysis and insights to make well-informed decisions, ultimately boosting the overall performance of your business.

Now, don't be fooled into thinking that risk quantification is solely for mature organizations, cyber-centric risks, or niche parts of your risk management program. Think again! The objective of your risk management program is to understand the risk landscape, make sense of risks for use in decision support. An enterprise approach to risk quantification delivers on the promise of the risk management program. 

We invite you to join Archer and OCEG for this webinar, “Debunking the Complexity of Quantitative Risk,” to:
• Discover how foundational risk management principles lend themselves to risk quantification.
• Gain an understanding of the benefits and impact of adopting risk quantification for your enterprise risk management program.

More investment portfolio managers are recognizing that ESG factors can have a material impact on a company’s long-term financial performance. Companies with strong ESG practices may be better positioned to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities, while those with weak ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks that could negatively impact financial performance.

Institutional investors are also under increasing pressure from stakeholders to consider ESG factors in investment decisions. As a result, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become an important consideration and essential component of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. However, implementing this strategy is a considerable undertaking, with significant challenges including alignment of ESG priorities, tedious manual data collection processes, and insufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance.

Tackle the Top 4 Supply Chain Risks with Effective Third-Party Risk Management

Third-party risk is a growing concern for businesses. Increasing reliance on vendors has resulted in a heightened risk landscape that spans from data breaches to compliance violations. In addition, with the increasing significance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, many organizations must also ensure third-party suppliers’ adherence to their ESG objectives.

Despite these challenges, many organizations still rely on traditional methods of risk management such as onboarding controls and infrequent assessments. However, given the pace and complexity of modern business operations, these methods may not be sufficient. To effectively manage risks from third-party vendors, organizations must incorporate continuous monitoring into their risk management strategy. This method requires ongoing, proactive monitoring of vendors throughout their lifecycle to ensure timely and accurate insights into associated risks.

Join us for this webinar to:
• Learn how continuous monitoring can transform your organization’s third-party risk management strategy.
• Discover best practices for implementing continuous monitoring most effectively.
• Explore how Archer can elevate your third-party risk management program to keep you ahead of third-party risks.

Third Party Continuous Monitoring: Benefits & Best Practices w Michael Rasmussen

Organizations have long recognized the need to standardize risk management practices for consistency in identifying and analyzing risks in enterprise risk management (ERM) programs. Today, most organizations currently use qualitative or semi-quantitative assessments, which are repeatable and scalable, but can be coarse, unauditable, highly subjective, and ambiguous. This results in a highly fragmented representation of the organization’s risk landscape.
 
Quantitative risk assessments provide a more detailed and auditable representation of risk. They can be easily aggregated and help to address the costs and benefits of mitigating risks in economic terms. However, incorporating quantitative assessments can be challenging for many organizations, as they may not see the value and think it is only for those with extensive data and experience.
 
Join Archer experts Graeme Keith, Shelley Migliore and Steve Schlarman for this webinar to learn practical methods for adopting quantitative risk assessment into your ERM program.

• Learn the important role and benefits of risk quantification in assessing, representing, and analyzing risks.
• Discover how you can make informed decisions at an enterprise level through quantification.
• Get practical steps to merge quantification techniques into your existing programs and workflows.

How to Incorporate Quantitative Risk Assessment in Enterprise Risk Management

The State of California recently enacted legislation that is expected to significantly impact corporate climate reporting and accountability policies and programs for organizations that conduct business in the state. As the first laws of their kind in the U.S., the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (CCDAA) and the Climate Related Financial Risk Act (CRFRA) require companies to be transparent about greenhouse gas emissions and the financial risks associated with climate change.

These groundbreaking laws pose new challenges for businesses operating in California, considering steep fines of up to $500,000 per violation. The responsibility for ensuring compliance with these laws rests squarely on the shoulders of the risk, compliance, and sustainability leaders within your organization. For many organizations, this is uncharted territory that will challenge existing compliance and sustainability programs to understand what is required and adapt accordingly. Yet, in this challenge lies an opportunity for you to lead the way in corporate accountability and sustainability.

We invite you to join Verdantix and Archer for this webinar, “California’s Climate Change Legislation: What Your Business Needs to Know” to:
• Gain an understanding of the key provisions of California's new regulations and how they impact your organization's compliance and sustainability reporting.
• Discover the broader implications of these groundbreaking California laws on corporate climate reporting, accountability, and sustainability programs.
• Learn about technology that can help you manage and advance your ESG program.
