Ready for Real-World Operational Risk Management?

No Excuses: A Business Process Approach to Managing Operational Risk recognizes operational risk management as a tool to help leaders at all levels in all organizations to proactively manage risks. Authoritative and proactive, this guidebook answers questions including:

  • What can my organization do about the risk of loss resulting from inadequate processes, people, or systems?
  • To what extent should my organization link employee compensation or job performance with operational risk management?
  • How is operational risk taken into consideration when new products or technology solutions are designed or acquired, deployed, and executed?
  • Does my organization have an inventory of its key business processes with documented controls and designated senior managers responsible?

Practical and no-nonsense in approach, this guide is written with a unique focus on integrating business process management with operational risk management to equip your organization to realize that there are no excuses when it comes to managing operational risk and business processes.
