From Guidance to Action: Exploring Practical ERM

Enterprise risk management (ERM) too often gets treated as a compliance exercise rather than a capability that helps organizations make better choices, execute strategy, and create and protect value. Grounded in The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s article on ERM, co-authored with Crowe specialists, this session will help attendees turn concepts into actionable ERM approaches. Specialists will explore how ERM can become more practical, decision-oriented, and connected to the business by linking risk management more directly to strategy, governance, and performance.

Attendees will learn what stronger ERM looks like in practice, including the disciplines, behaviors, and operating approaches that make risk more useful to leaders and boards. The session will also highlight lessons from organizations at different stages of ERM maturity and how those lessons can help teams move beyond check-the-box activity toward more effective, value-focused risk management.

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify ERM practices and operating disciplines that strengthen governance and support board oversight
• Evaluate how ERM can shift from a compliance-centered activity to a capability that supports better decisions and business value
• Explain how ERM can make risk more visible and actionable in support of strategy execution and performance
