Now available as an online course! Check out my website for details.The world needs excellent Chief Risk Officers. Managing risk matters. It matters to organisations, who need systematic, appropriate controls that dont stifle them. It matters to the public, who need to trust their institutions. However, most of all it matters to people: to their lives and livelihoods. When risk management fails, there are almost always consequences faced by the innocent.The CRO role is complex. It requires a grounding in all of the functions of an organisation, from product management to technology to sustainability. Over the past 20 years, since the emergence of operational risk as a standalone discipline, a large volume of often scholarly material has been written on the topic. However, it is hard to find accessible, clear, practical material that an aspiring CRO can immediately put into action.This book de-mystifies the CRO role and breaks it into its constituent parts; the three fundamental pillars of Culture, Strategy and Execution, and six risk areas, comprising strategic, people, technology, financial, operational and sustainability. It advises on how to build out a risk framework, what skills are needed to build the risk team, and how to use risk information systems.This book can either be read standalone or as a companion to the How to be a Chief Risk Officer course available at www.csuiteframework.com. Drawing on current standards and enriched with expert insight and real-life current examples, it condenses a vast range of knowledge and experience into one accessible read. The book, which can be consumed all at once, or used as a reference, will equip you with the grounding required to be an effective CRO or risk manager. Relevant, practical and authoritative, this is the CRO book that your organisation needs you to read.If youre stepping into risk leadership or want to build a future-proof CRO career, explore the podcast and online training resources at www.csuiteframework.com.
