    Risk-based performance three pillars model

    DateSunday, January 31, 2010 at 11:00PM

    The Risk-based performance three pillars model is now available. This model follows a familiar structure - Principles, Framework and Process.

    Principles

    1. Begin with strategy, integrating performance and risk management
    2. Set the tone to enable and sustain the right culture
    3. Manage the relationship between performance, risk and controls
    4. Combine hard numbers with expert knowledge & judgement
    5. Align the change agenda (run, change & transform)
    6. Embed accountabilities and responsibilities – execution is a team game
    7. Continually monitor, review and improve

    The results of a new survey by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) highlights the “risk hotspots” for 2010. There appears to be a shift taking place, one which focuses on the link between strategy and risk.

    "For the past two years, executives have been in a more defensive posture, but this year they are thinking about how to set the company up for success in the future," says Kate Guerra, CEB's research director.

    The list of top 10 risks are a below and the full story is available here

    1. Strategic change management
    2. Capacity
    3. Incentive plans
    4. Human resources
    5. Fraud
    6. Innovation/R&D
    7. Third-party relationships
    8. Shared services
    9. Inflation/Deflation
    10. Tax management
