Today’s executives find themselves dealing risks that their predecessors never dreamt about. From new diseases impacting their workforce to terrorism, risk issues play a significant role in an executive’s daily activities. To meet business objectives, business leaders must play an active role in determining their organization’s risk profile and how this profile affects both their strategy and their business operations.
