“While there have been steady improvements in overall risk management practices over the 15 years we have conducted this study, business leaders still struggle to recognize and embrace the benefits that proactive and robust risk management can provide for creating strategic value for the organization,” wrote Beasley and Branson. “It is our hope that this report might stimulate executive leadership teams and boards of directors to seek opportunities to strengthen the strategic value of their organization’s risk management processes.”
