Definition of Risk: “Bad things happen, people could get blamed” or “Good things happen, people may not know.” Risk Management challenges and performance objectives go hand-in-hand for a global organization, post 9/11 and post Sarbanes Oxley, taking everything from Governance Performance, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Concept Theft, Workplace Discrimination and Confidentiality Breaches into account as contemporary threats in today's business world. However, the traditional deterrents of stand-alone manual, or isolated, internal control processes, periodic audits, specialty devices and electronic barriers no longer meet the needs of these high-risk business environments. The horizontal, organization-wide thinking of "Integrated Risk Management" is essential for survival, performance and sustained success. Integrated risk management is the consideration of all risks to an organization and the creation of responses that utilize current assets and consider the entire organization before program implementation. It includes a fundamental shift from a vertical, top-down, organizational structure and thought pattern to one that is horizontal and company inclusive. A risk in one department is a risk to the entire organization and must be considered as such. The result is enhanced performance of an organization through risk management solutions that in turn provide efficient, low-cost, sustained competitive advantage.
