Emerging Risk Framework™
Detect, assess and prepare for risks that are new, fast-moving or unprecedented.
Emerging risks are novel, fast-evolving or beyond historical experience. This framework detects, assesses and prepares for them through horizon scanning and a managed watchlist.
Organisations are repeatedly surprised by risks they could have anticipated because no structured horizon-scanning or watchlist process exists.
Detect, assess and prepare for risks that are new, fast-moving or unprecedented.
