"Companies need to understand, manage and control the risks of doing business, whilst exploiting and gaining competitive advantage from the many opportunities in a globalised world. Drawing on sudden and destabilizing events such as the Arab Spring, the growth and influence of social media, developments in digital technologies, the credit crunch, US debt and the Eurozone crises this expert guide presents a new model for managing organizations in a new economic landscape. The Risk-Based Performance Management model is a pioneering and powerful framework for enabling senior management to compete and survive in turbulent times. Embedding risk management into strategic and operational decision-making, and positioning appetite for risk as a central management and control tool, this book offers a practical results-focused methodology that enables executive teams to manage their organizations with 'one eye on performance,' and 'one eye on risk', in order to drive sustainable success"-- Provided by publisher.
