The Big Debate: Risk Agenda 2025

The Big Debate: The Institute of Risk Management Launches the Risk Agenda 2025

The Institute of Risk Management (IRM) is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its founding by exploring the future direction the profession of risk management is likely to take.

Risk Agenda 2025 is launched with a survey (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DG63RTT) into the future of risk management and how our members and stakeholders feel the profession will shape up in the future. The project also sees a series of interviews, roadshows and online debates.

The publication of Perspectives on the Future of Risk marks the beginning of IRM’s Risk Agenda 2025 project. The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate debate within the risk community by examining how enterprise risk management might be delivered in 2025 and by then proposing different ways that the risk management profession might prepare itself for the possible future scenarios.

The contribution of IRM members and other stakeholders will be critical for the quality and inclusiveness of the project’s output.

Here are some of the ways in which you can get involved:

• Complete the Risk Agenda 2015 Survey
• Attend one of our Regional Roadshows
• Participate in online debates via our LinkedIn group
• Come to the annual Risk Leaders conference in November, where the full results will be announced and debated.

A website supporting this project can be found at https://www.theirm.org/thebigdebate

There you’ll find links to the survey, information on how to book onto a Regional Roadshow, read

contributions to the debate provided by experts and other interested parties, and much more.

Initial findings from the survey will also be presented at Sword Active Risk’s Active Risk Manager conference in London on 22 June 2017 – see www.armgcc.com/london for more details.

IRM Board member and Chair of the Risk Agenda 2025 project group, Clive Thompson, CFIRM, Project Director at Willis Towers Watson said:

“I urge Institute members and others with an interest in our future to get involved. Visit our website, complete our Risk Agenda 2025 survey, attend workshops and events and express your views.

Your opinions and suggestions will feed into the conversation on the future direction of our industry and inform the IRM’s thinking and strategy in the years to come.
