The pandemic, the war, the energy crisis, the food crisis and the health crisis will create economic chaos over the next couple of years. That does not mean you might as well shut up shop and go home! When chaos causes other business leaders to fold you need to become even more creative, flexible and dynamic. To prepare for the ensuing economic disaster you need to build on your hard work managing effects of pandemic to cover more issues including continuing supply problems, rising costs and bad debt. You may have thought that now a couple of years after the pandemic started you could start to breath more easily. Unfortunately the economic effects of the pandemic were smoothed out with unprecedented monetary support from global governments. However their magic money tree has died! You are on your own now. Now we will see who really are the good business leaders.

The price of a share does not tell you the value of a business. The type of business valuation is key in decision-making. What business valuation you are assessing will depend on why you are making a point of valuing a business:
The value of a business an employee will want will depend on why the employee is working for a business. Some employees live from pay cheque to pay cheque and regard the business to be worth merely the value of pay received each month or week. Other employees see a business as a stepping stone to next career progression and value the business reputation in the marketplace rather than a monetary value will be of more importance. Other employees want to be fully engaged in the mission of the business and need to be kept fully onboard with business plans to place positive value in the business.
Investors traditionally have sought capital appreciation, income or both from their investment in a business. Anything that detracted from profit or revenue generation may not have been welcomed. The proliferation of the Woke Society, if you are ungenerous or socially responsible if kinder, means that ethics social responsibility and good governance (ESG) has meant that many investors want better holistic enterprise risk management (ERM) performance. New jobs have even been created at board level to reflect this, such as Chief Impact Officer responsible for every process that generates any kind of social and environmental impact (as defined by the company’s mission and values).
Customers are valuing businesses differently. Many more consumers use their spending power to punish poorly managed businesses in field of ESG or ERM, and reward businesses performing well in the ESG or ERM arena. We used the word arena deliberately as ESG or risk management in general is now often used as a show pony or window dressing when in reality the business is performing badly in the real world of managing all business risks well.
Business leaders will respond to regulation of their business but in the heavily regulated world of financial services, for example, we still find yearly evidence of poor risk management by banks despite nearly two decades passing from the time the banks nearly sent the whole world tumbling over the abyss to total societal collapse due to the banks regulators and politicians failing to manage business risks holistically well in 2008.
Scanning Horizon For Business Threats and Opportunities
Many are frightened that the next 12 to 24 months will see a long period of economic depression due to failure to manage risks well
Think inflation is bad now – you ain’t seen nothing yet! A food shortage will result in millions starving in 3rd world countries and hyper food inflation in 1st world countries. We are not going to starve but we are going to pay for poor business and economic risk management.
The share price of many businesses over the next couple of years are going to collapse. However, the same businesses value will not have fallen, just the share price. Investors including the person in the street through pensions will see the value of their retirement fund drop off a cliff. Employees will lose their pay cheque to pay cheque existence as many will lose their job. Consumers will pay more for the same or poorer products and services. What are you going to do to protect yourself?
Employees need to keep to keep abreast of the health of their employers business. They may even be wise to pick a different employer who is stronger if they can assess which businesses are strong and which businesses are weak.
Investors maybe better out of the marketplace, or keep up with regular investing. It is counter intuitive. However few can pick the moment of a bear market turning into a depression. The only good thing about a depression is that it will be a good time to invest! Likewise no one can identify the bottom of a market. One solution is to get out of the market but the other is to invest through the depression to get the benefit of the lows to compensate for the loss of the highs.
Consumers need to diversify to protect themselves from loss of money in one area. Cash is king just now. However globally governments are even destroying the value of cash in more ways than one! Real wealth is having enough money to pay for your lifestyle without needing to work, for as long as possible. You may outwardly have money but wealth is measured in financial freedom not in currency or other assets. The value of many perhaps most assets is set to fall.

Take the Risk or Lose the Chance to Be Better in Business
In business, as in life, there are always risks involved. But sometimes, the only way to achieve success is to take a chance.
A ship in the harbour is safe but that’s not what ships are for.
There are many reasons why it’s important to take risks in business. Here are a few:
Risks can lead to innovation. When businesses take risks, they often come up with new and innovative products or services. This can help them to differentiate themselves from their competitors and gain a competitive advantage.
Risks can lead to growth. When businesses expand into new markets or launch new products, they often experience growth. This can lead to increased revenue, profits, and market share.
Risks can lead to learning. When businesses take risks, they often learn from their mistakes. This can help them to improve their products, services, and processes.
Of course, there is also the risk of failure when taking risks in business. But the potential rewards often outweigh the potential risks.
So, if you’re thinking about starting a business or expanding your existing business, don’t be afraid to take some risks. Just make sure you do your research and plan carefully. And be prepared to learn from your mistakes.
Is it better to take the risk or lose the chance?
The answer to this question depends on your individual circumstances and goals. If you’re willing to take a risk and have a good chance of success, then it may be worth it. However, if you’re not willing to take a risk or the chances of success are slim, then it may be better to play it safe.
Why is it important to take risk in business?
There are several reasons why it’s important to take risks in business. Here are a few:
Risk can lead to innovation. Businesses that are willing to take risks are more likely to innovate and come up with new products and services. This can help them to stay ahead of the competition and grow their business.
Risk can lead to growth. Businesses that are willing to take risks are more likely to grow their business. This can be done by expanding into new markets, launching new products, or acquiring other businesses.
Risk can lead to learning. Businesses that are willing to take risks are more likely to learn from their mistakes. This can help them to improve their products, services, and processes.
Is it worth it to take risk business?
Whether or not it’s worth it to take risks in business depends on a number of factors, including the size of the risk, the potential reward, and the likelihood of success.
In general, it’s only worth taking risks that have a good chance of success and that are worth the potential reward. For example, it may not be worth taking a risk on a new product that has a small market potential. However, it may be worth taking a risk on a new product that has a large market potential and that can be produced at a low cost.
What does take risks mean in business?
Taking risks in business means being willing to try new things, even if there is a chance of failure. It means being willing to step outside of your comfort zone and explore new opportunities. It also means being willing to learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.
Taking risks is not always easy, but it can be very rewarding. When you take risks, you have the potential to achieve great things. You can grow your business, innovate new products, and reach new markets. So, if you’re looking to achieve success in business, don’t be afraid to take some risks.
Here are some tips for taking risks in business:
Do your research. Before you take any risks, make sure you do your research and understand the potential risks and rewards.
Plan carefully. Once you’ve done your research, create a plan for how you’re going to mitigate the risks and maximize the rewards.
Be prepared to fail. Even if you do everything right, there’s always a chance that you’ll fail. Be prepared to learn from your mistakes and move on.
Don’t give up. If you fail, don’t give up. Learn from your mistakes and keep trying.
Taking risks can be scary, but it’s also an essential part of business success. If you’re willing to take some risks, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals.
Businesses must be able to benefit from change. We explore the importance of adapting to change in a business. What are the benefits of change in the workplace. Changes in business can be necessary due to external and internal business risk factors. Not all change has to be major. Small incremental changes, combined, can be more effective and beneficial to your business than giant leaps. Constant major changes can also be counterproductive.
What are the negative effects of change in business?
What are the positive effects of change in business?
Learn how to embrace change and innovation in your company.
Today’s organisation’s must embrace change to survive and prosper. Ensure your business has a culture of looking at change as an opportunity to improve not something to fear or resist. Explain the importance of accepting change positively to your employees and customers.
Employees will develop new skills which will make them more valuable to you but also more valuable in the marketplace.
Employees will have new opportunities to be more creative in alignment with new business objectives so both can navigate choppy market conditions.
Employees will become more engaged with and committed to your business as their ideas will help grow the business and their role within the business.
Sell the benefits of a constantly changing business to your employees so they can help you not run away from your business.
We look at why change is important. Explain the importance of accepting change positively. Not forgetting both the negative and positive effects of change in the workplace. Control the negative effects of change while enhancing the positive effects of change.
Embracing change means embracing failure. Not all changes will be successful. However if employees feel that their ideas and failure of ideas will be accepted without recrimination and even rewarded, you will find the gems in the rough that will boost your business development.
You need and plan and a process to filter the ideas. Your plan needs to engage all levels of your organisation not just the management team.
Embracing change will help your business find and develop new ideas and opportunities to grow faster. Change in business is inevitable so why not embrace it positively at all times to get the best out of it and mitigate anything bad about change. Embracing change is essential for the future success and growth of your business so adopting a culture and a habit of embracing change will supercharge your growth. Change will no longer threaten your survival in business.
What are the benefits to customers when a business changes?
Adapt your business and embrace change to benefit old and new customers. A culture of embracing change and a process for managing risks of change will lead to more satisfied customers as well as more engaged workforce.
Much innovation is born out of necessity – for example during times of war. The COVID period maybe our time of war. It as certainly led to the worst economic period for several hundred years including from two world wars. What we can learn from Abandoned Engineering on Yesterday Channel is that our forefathers have invested incredible amounts of money and energy in ideas that failed for various different reasons. If you want your business to be resilience regardless of the economic environment you need to adopt the right risk management strategy to give your business the best chance of surviving in all economic weather. We may think we have been unlucky. However, all previous generations have had their challenges. Our challenge is to be innovative, creative and resilient no matter what is thrown at us.

How do you recession-proof your business?
How can we protect from inflation?
How to prepare for inflation at home?
The impact of recession on businesses is severe. However inflation can be the precursor of a recession. Central banks are charged with the responsibility of keeping inflation under control partly to ward against recession or depression. Healthy inflation is generally regarded as 2 percent. Many countries are experiencing at least 3 times healthy inflation. Some key economies are experiencing much more than that just now. In other words the biggest economies are suffering from very unhealthy inflation levels. Most central banks have not responded fast enough and should gave started increasing interest rates earlier to control inflation. Some have not even started to control inflation. The long-tail effect of increasing interest rates means that for next 6 months at least inflation will remain out of control. The war in Ukraine may even mean inflation is uncontrollable for years. Out if control inflation leads to a recession at best and depression at worst!
Now is not the time to pat yourself on the back. Surviving pandemic was good, but the next existential threats to your business are already here or rushing towards you.
Rising inflation means that consumers and business decision-makers have the same money but it doesn’t go as far as it once did. The end result is that they buy fewer products and services. Inflation is a driver of a recession. Back to back crisis’s caused by pandemic, war, fuel, energy, fertiliser and food shortages or rising prices could result in extended global recession that turns into a global depression. The global pandemic caused the deepest recession since the Second World War and the world has used all its tools, including record low interest rates and extended Quantitative Easing QE, to scramble back out of the recession. However it means the world is particularly vulnerable just now – with economic risk management tools exhausted or trying to recover.
What Can Governments Do To Reduce Inflation
Reducing Inflation Strategies
Inflation is the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including rising costs of production, increased demand for goods and services, and monetary policy decisions made by central banks.
Governments can take several measures to reduce inflation, including:
Monetary policy: Central banks can raise interest rates to curb inflation. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which can slow down economic growth and reduce demand for goods and services.
Fiscal policy: Governments can reduce government spending and increase taxes to slow down economic growth and reduce demand for goods and services.
Price controls: Governments can impose price controls on certain goods and services to keep prices from rising too quickly. However, this can lead to shortages and reduced incentives for producers to supply goods and services.
Supply-side policies: Governments can take steps to increase the supply of goods and services, such as by investing in infrastructure and education, and by reducing regulations that limit the ability of firms to produce goods and services.
Flexible exchange rates: Governments can allow their currency to fluctuate in value against other currencies. A stronger currency will make imports cheaper and can help to reduce inflation.
Price stability target: Central banks and governments can jointly agree on a target for inflation, and use monetary and fiscal policy to achieve that target.
It’s important to note that reducing inflation is not always the best course of action for an economy. Sometimes, a moderate level of inflation can be beneficial for economic growth, especially in developing countries. It’s important for governments to weigh the costs and benefits of different policies to reduce inflation and make the best decision for their economy.
Many central banks have an inflation target of between 2 percent and 3 percent – seen has healthy level of inflation
BusinessRiskTV
In conclusion, governments have several tools at their disposal to reduce inflation, including monetary and fiscal policy, price controls, supply-side policies, flexible exchange rates, and price stability target. However, it’s important to consider the costs and benefits of each policy before implementing them.
Strategies for business survival during a recession
Businesses fold quickly during a recession. Before you know it, you are losing both suppliers and customers. Both can damage your business and even threaten an otherwise successful business survival. Set a Key Performance Indicator KPI to help you monitor your risk management in this area of your business. A Key Control Indicator KCI could be that no more than 10 percent of your key supply’s come from any single supplier. Likewise a KCI could be that no more than 10 percent comes from a single customer. If you stick to your KCI then the failure of any one customer or supplier is not going to pull your business down with their failure to manage recession risk.
What you set your KCIs at will vary depending on your financial strength, type of industry and current resources. You may never hit your KCIs but they flag up when action is needed or your progress towards better recession risk control.
Expanding your customer base is not just about expanding your business. It is about protecting your business from loss of business. Expanding your suppliers could increase the overall cost of supply during good times thereby limiting your profit. Your management team needs to decide what level of risk you are exposed to, the type of risks and your appetite and resilience to risk.
We are moving from pandemic survival to rapid business development. If you focus your energy on growing your business faster organically with new customers you can ride the economic wave through the various threats to your business.
Just before a business falls flat on its face it can seem that the world was its oyster! The world seems to be dragging itself out of the economic damage of a global pandemic. We are seeing economic expansion at or near record rates across the world. Wages are rising and many countries have unfilled job vacancies galore! What could go wrong? Answer is out of control inflation turning into a recession and high unemployment.
The world has shot its bolt. Due to the economic impact of the global pandemic central banks have slashed interest rates to the bone and in a few cases into the bone! There is no wiggle room left to cope with another economic disaster. Trouble is nobody told our political leaders and they have led us into the next economic disaster on back of an inflationary crisis on back of war, food crisis and energy crisis. You wait for a financial crisis to come around every 10 years then several come along at once!
Inflation may have given you a good opportunity to inflate your prices. The good times are slipping away. Your pricing model may have brought in easy money that will be useful. Times are changing and you may think that new opportunities are appearing for business growth.
Stay on top of your business changing needs:
Profits are cut due to rising costs due to inflationary pressures. Make sure you focus on market prices to seize opportunities appearing in your marketplace. Instead of raising your prices think about reducing your costs or making your offering more attractive to new customers.
Cash is king now! Take steps to improve or maintain cash flow. Pay later and get paid quicker.
Win new customers. Make sure you your marketing and sales development budget is working hard for you.
As interest rates rise there will be bargains. Minimise your outgoings. Reduce your overheads.
Hopefully you took advantage of cheap money. However the days of cheap money have passed or are passing. Now is the time to think about paying off debt. The rising cost of debt could pull down countries never mind companies! Make sure your business is not wasting profit on back of your cost of debt. Controlling your costs will help you to be more competitive in tightening marketplace.
World central banks need to act more quickly and more aggressively to calm inflation rates around the world to prevent a global recession and perhaps even global depression from 2023 onwards. This includes increasing interest rates and increasing interest rates in bigger leaps and bounds.
A healthy level of inflation is generally considered to be around 2% per year.
Why 2 percent?
2% inflation per year is considered healthy because it allows for some economic growth while still maintaining stability in the purchasing power of money. It is a rate that is low enough to prevent rapid changes in the cost of goods and services, but high enough to encourage investments and borrowing. However, the specific level of inflation that is considered healthy can vary depending on a country’s economic conditions and goals.
Who thinks this?
The idea that 2% inflation is a healthy level is widely accepted among central banks and economists. This is because it provides a balance between stable prices and economic growth, and has been found to be compatible with low unemployment and stable financial markets in many countries. The Federal Reserve in the United States, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England, among others, target an inflation rate of around 2%.
How do you reach this target?
Central banks use a variety of tools to reach their inflation target. The most common method is through the manipulation of interest rates. By adjusting interest rates, central banks can influence borrowing costs, which in turn can affect spending and investment decisions. This can then influence the overall level of demand in the economy, which affects prices.
In addition to interest rates, central banks can also use other monetary policy tools, such as buying and selling government securities in the open market, to reach their inflation target.
In some cases, central banks may also use forward guidance, where they provide information about their future plans for interest rates, to influence market expectations and help reach their inflation target.
It’s worth noting that hitting an exact inflation target can be challenging, and central banks may sometimes miss their target due to various economic and financial factors outside of their control.
Is inflation transitory?

How to make better strategic decisions for your business if you are business leader
Maximise Your Business Success: Proven Strategies for Better Strategic Decision-Making for Business Leader
Making better strategic decisions for your business can be challenging, but it is essential for its success. Business leaders play a crucial role in creating and executing strategies that drive growth, competitiveness, and profitability. Here are a few tips to help you make better strategic decisions for your business:
Start with a clear vision: Having a clear vision of where your business is headed is critical. It helps you set your priorities and make decisions that align with your goals. Make sure your vision is realistic, achievable, and inspiring.
Gather data and insights: Gather data on your market, customers, competitors, and your own performance to inform your decision-making. Use tools like market research, customer surveys, and data analytics to get insights into the trends and patterns affecting your business.
Consider multiple options: Don’t limit yourself to a single strategy. Instead, consider multiple options and weigh their pros and cons. Encourage your team to bring new ideas to the table and consider them seriously.
Seek feedback from key stakeholders: Before finalizing a decision, seek feedback from key stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and suppliers. Their input can help you make informed decisions that take into account the perspectives of those who are affected by them.
Create contingency plans: Anticipate potential risks and prepare contingency plans to minimize their impact. This helps you mitigate risks and be prepared for any eventualities that may arise.
Stay flexible: The business environment is constantly changing, so be prepared to adjust your strategy if necessary. Stay open-minded, monitor the situation closely, and be ready to pivot when circumstances require it.
Communicate effectively: Effective communication is critical to the success of any strategy. Ensure that everyone understands the strategy and their role in executing it. Regularly communicate progress, changes, and updates to keep everyone informed and engaged.
In conclusion, making better strategic decisions for your business requires a combination of vision, data, collaboration, contingency planning, flexibility, and effective communication. As a business leader, it’s up to you to set the tone and lead by example in making informed, strategic decisions that drive your business forward.

Guidance On Enterprise Risk Management On BusinessRiskTV
Do you want your business to be bigger or more profitable?
ERM Framework Implementation
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is the process of identifying, assessing, prioritising, and managing risks that could affect an organisation’s ability to achieve its objectives. In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations face numerous risks, such as financial, operational, strategic, regulatory, reputational, and cybersecurity. The failure to manage these risks could lead to severe consequences, such as financial loss, legal liability, damage to reputation, and even business failure.
Therefore, it’s critical for organizations to implement a robust ERM framework to identify and mitigate risks that could potentially harm the organization. In this article, we will provide guidance on how organisations can implement an effective ERM framework to manage risks.
Establishing an ERM framework The first step in implementing ERM is to establish a framework that outlines the organisation’s risk management policies, procedures, and practices. The framework should define the roles and responsibilities of the risk management team, establish risk assessment methodologies, and identify the key risk indicators (KRIs) that will be used to monitor risks.
The ERM framework should also identify the organisation’s risk appetite, which refers to the level of risk that the organisation is willing to accept in pursuit of its objectives. The risk appetite should be clearly defined and communicated to all stakeholders, including employees, investors, customers, and regulators.
The ERM framework should be aligned with the organisation’s strategic objectives, and the risk management team should work closely with the senior management team to ensure that risk management is integrated into the organisation’s decision-making process.
Conducting a risk assessment The next step in implementing ERM is to conduct a risk assessment, which involves identifying, analysing, and evaluating risks that could potentially harm the organisation. The risk assessment should be based on a systematic and comprehensive approach that considers all the potential risks that the organisation faces.
The risk assessment should consider both internal and external factors that could affect the organisation’s ability to achieve its objectives. Internal factors include the organisation’s culture, structure, processes, and people, while external factors include economic, political, technological, and regulatory factors.
The risk assessment should also consider the likelihood and impact of each risk and prioritise them based on their significance. The risk assessment should be updated periodically to ensure that new risks are identified and managed.
Developing a risk management plan Once the risks have been identified and prioritised, the next step is to develop a risk management plan that outlines the actions that will be taken to manage each risk. The risk management plan should consider the risk appetite of the organisation and the resources that are available to manage the risks.
The risk management plan should include specific measures to mitigate each risk, such as risk avoidance, risk reduction, risk transfer, and risk acceptance. Risk avoidance involves eliminating the risk altogether, while risk reduction involves implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or impact of the risk. Risk transfer involves transferring the risk to another party, such as an insurance company, while risk acceptance involves accepting the risk and managing it within the organisation’s risk appetite.
The risk management plan should also identify the stakeholders who will be responsible for managing each risk and the KRIs that will be used to monitor the risks. The risk management plan should be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains effective and relevant.
Implementing risk management controls The next step in implementing ERM is to implement risk management controls to manage the risks. Risk management controls are the policies, procedures, and practices that are implemented to manage the risks identified in the risk assessment.
Risk management controls should be designed to ensure that the organisation operates within its risk appetite and that the risks are managed effectively. Risk management controls should be integrated into the organisation’s processes and systems to ensure that they are followed consistently.
Monitoring and reporting on risks The final step in implementing ERM is to monitor and report on risks. Monitoring involves tracking the effectiveness of the risk management controls and the KRIs that were identified in the risk management plan. The monitoring process should be designed to detect any changes in the risk environment and to ensure that the risk management controls remain effective.
Reporting involves communicating the results of the risk management process to stakeholders, such as the board of directors, senior management, investors, customers, and regulators. The reporting should provide an accurate and comprehensive view of the organisation’s risk exposure and the effectiveness of the risk management controls.
Reporting should also include any significant changes in the risk environment and any emerging risks that could potentially impact the organisation. Reporting should be timely, accurate, and relevant to ensure that stakeholders have the information they need to make informed decisions.
ERM is a critical process that organisations must implement to manage the risks they face. ERM involves identifying, assessing, prioritising, and managing risks that could potentially harm the organisation.
To implement an effective ERM framework, organizations must establish a framework that outlines the risk management policies, procedures, and practices. They must conduct a comprehensive risk assessment that considers all the potential risks that the organisation faces and prioritise them based on their significance.
They must develop a risk management plan that outlines the actions that will be taken to manage each risk and implement risk management controls to manage the risks. Finally, they must monitor and report on risks to ensure that the risk management process remains effective and relevant.
By implementing an effective ERM framework, organisations can mitigate the risks they face and achieve their objectives in a safe and sustainable manner. The ERM framework should be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure that it remains effective and relevant to the changing risk environment.

Guide On Saving A Struggling Small Business With BusinessRiskTV
Struggling Small Business Guide
A Guide to Saving a Struggling Small Business in the UK
Small businesses play a crucial role in the UK economy, contributing to job creation, innovation, and local communities. However, even the most resilient businesses can face challenging times. Economic downturns, unforeseen circumstances, or poor management can lead to a struggling business. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s essential to take proactive steps to turn the tide and revitalise your small business. In this guide, we will explore strategies to save a struggling small business in the UK and set it on a path towards success.
Assess the Current Situation: To save a struggling small business, the first step is to conduct a thorough assessment of its current situation. Start by analysing your financial records, including cash flow statements, profit and loss statements, and balance sheets. Identify areas where costs can be reduced or revenue can be increased. Look for patterns or trends that indicate underlying issues. Additionally, assess your business’s market position, competition, and customer feedback to gain insights into areas that require improvement.
Develop a Turnaround Plan: Once you have a clear understanding of your small business’s challenges, it’s time to develop a comprehensive turnaround plan. This plan should outline specific objectives, strategies, and tactics to address the identified issues. Consider the following key elements:
a) Financial Restructuring: Explore options for debt consolidation, renegotiating contracts, or seeking additional financing. Develop a realistic budget and cash flow forecast to ensure financial stability.
b) Operational Efficiency: Streamline operations by identifying inefficiencies, eliminating redundant processes, and optimising resource allocation. Look for ways to reduce overhead costs without compromising quality.
c) Marketing and Sales: Evaluate your marketing and sales strategies. Identify target markets, refine your value proposition, and leverage cost-effective marketing channels. Enhance customer engagement and explore new avenues for revenue generation.
d) Customer Experience: Focus on improving customer satisfaction by delivering exceptional products or services. Encourage feedback, implement suggestions, and address any issues promptly. Cultivate customer loyalty and retention through personalised experiences.
Seek Professional Advice: In challenging times, seeking professional advice can provide valuable insights and guidance. Consider engaging the services of a business consultant, accountant, or financial advisor experienced in turnaround strategies. They can help you analyse your business, identify blind spots, and offer tailored solutions. Additionally, they may provide recommendations on accessing government support schemes or grants designed to assist struggling businesses.
Embrace Innovation and Adaptation: In a rapidly changing business landscape, embracing innovation and adaptability is crucial. Identify opportunities to diversify your offerings or enter new markets. Stay up to date with industry trends and technological advancements that can enhance your competitive edge. Explore digital transformation initiatives, such as e-commerce integration, online marketing, or process automation. By continuously evolving, you can keep your business relevant and resilient.
Engage and Motivate Employees: Your employees are vital assets in turning around a struggling small business. Engage them in the turnaround process by fostering open communication, transparency, and a shared sense of purpose. Encourage their creativity and input, as they may offer valuable suggestions for improvement. Recognise and reward their efforts to boost morale and motivation during challenging times. Provide training and development opportunities to enhance their skills and adapt to changing business needs.
Monitor Progress and Adjust: Implement key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor the progress of your turnaround plan. Regularly review financial and operational metrics to gauge the effectiveness of your strategies. Stay agile and be prepared to adjust your plan based on emerging trends or unforeseen circumstances. Learn from both successes and failures, and continuously refine your approach to ensure sustainable growth.
Saving a struggling small business in the UK requires a proactive and strategic approach. By assessing the current situation, developing a comprehensive turnaround plan, seeking professional advice, embracing innovation, engaging employees, and monitoring progress, you can increase the chances of revitalizing your business and setting it on a path towards success.
Remember that turning around a struggling business takes time, effort, and resilience. It requires a willingness to adapt to changing market conditions, make tough decisions, and implement necessary changes. Be open to feedback, stay focused on your objectives, and remain flexible in your approach.
Furthermore, don’t hesitate to leverage available resources and support networks. The UK government provides various initiatives, grants, and support schemes for struggling businesses. Stay informed about these opportunities and explore how they can assist you in your turnaround efforts.
Lastly, remember that you are not alone. Seek support from fellow entrepreneurs, industry associations, or business networks. Sharing experiences and learning from others who have successfully navigated similar challenges can provide valuable insights and inspiration.
While saving a struggling small business is undoubtedly challenging, it is not impossible. With determination, strategic planning, and a willingness to adapt, you can overcome obstacles and breathe new life into your business. By implementing the strategies outlined in this guide and seeking the necessary support, you can set your small business on a path towards long-term viability and success.
Remember, every setback is an opportunity for growth and improvement. Stay committed, stay focused, and never lose sight of your vision for your small business.

How to Identify and Capitalise on Business Opportunities
In today’s competitive marketplace, businesses need to be constantly on the lookout for new opportunities. By identifying and capitalising on these opportunities, businesses can grow and expand their reach.
What is a Business Opportunity?
A business opportunity is a situation where there is a need for a product or service that is not currently being met. This need can be created by a change in the marketplace, a new technology, or simply a gap in the current offerings.
How to Identify Business Opportunities
There are a number of ways to identify business opportunities. Some of the most common methods include:
Observing trends. Pay attention to the changes that are happening in the marketplace. What are people buying? What are their needs and wants? What new technologies are emerging? By staying up-to-date on trends, you can identify potential opportunities that others may have missed.
Solving problems. Think about the problems that people are facing in your industry. Are there any ways to solve these problems in a better way? Could you develop a new product or service that addresses these needs?
Finding gaps in the market. Look for areas where there is a lack of competition. Are there any products or services that are not currently being offered? If so, there may be an opportunity to fill this gap.
Talking to customers. One of the best ways to identify business opportunities is to talk to your customers. What are their pain points? What do they wish they could have? By listening to your customers, you can get a better understanding of their needs and identify potential opportunities.
What Does it Mean to Capitalise on Opportunities?
Once you have identified a business opportunity, you need to be able to capitalise on it. This means taking the necessary steps to turn the opportunity into a successful business.
There are a number of things you can do to capitalise on a business opportunity, including:
Developing a business plan. A business plan will help you to define your business goals, identify your target market, and develop a strategy for achieving success.
Building a team. You will need a team of talented and dedicated individuals to help you bring your business to life.
Raising capital. Most businesses need some form of financial backing to get started. There are a number of ways to raise capital, including loans, grants, and crowdfunding.
Marketing your business. You need to let people know about your business and what you have to offer. This involves developing a marketing plan and executing it effectively.
The 4 Forces in Identifying Business Ideas and Opportunities
There are four main forces that can help you to identify business ideas and opportunities:
Technology: New technologies can create new opportunities for businesses. For example, the rise of the internet has created a whole new market for online businesses.
Demographic trends:Â Changes in the demographics of a population can also create new opportunities. For example, the ageing population in many developed countries has created a growing market for products and services that cater to seniors.
Economic trends: Changes in the economy can also create new opportunities. For example, a recession can lead to opportunities for businesses that offer cost-saving solutions.
Social trends:Â Changes in social trends can also create new opportunities. For example, the growing trend of environmental awareness has created opportunities for businesses that offer sustainable products and services.
Identifying and capitalising on business opportunities is essential for the success of any business. By following the tips in this article, you can increase your chances of finding and exploiting the next big opportunity.

Establish your brand voice: Develop a tone of voice that reflects your brand’s personality, values, and messaging. Use this voice consistently in all your communication channels to establish a strong brand identity.
Build a website: Your website is your brand’s digital home, and it should reflect your brand’s identity and values. Make sure that your website is user-friendly, mobile responsive, and optimized for search engines.
Leverage social media: Social media is an excellent tool for building brand awareness and engaging with your audience. Choose the platforms that are most relevant to your target audience, and create content that aligns with your brand’s messaging and values.
Create valuable content: Develop content that provides value to your target audience, such as blog posts, videos, or infographics. This content should align with your brand’s messaging and provide insights or solutions to your audience’s pain points.
Establish brand partnerships: Partner with other brands or organizations that share your values and can help you reach a wider audience. Collaborate on content, events, or promotions that align with your brand’s messaging.
Monitor your brand’s reputation: Monitor your brand’s online reputation to ensure that your messaging is resonating with your audience. Respond to feedback and address negative comments promptly and professionally.
Measure your brand’s success: Track your brand’s performance using metrics such as website traffic, social media engagement, and customer feedback. Use this data to refine your branding strategy and messaging.
Building a strong brand takes time and effort, but it’s an essential step towards establishing your company’s reputation and attracting customers. By following these tips, you can start building a brand that resonates with your target audience and sets your business apart from the competition.

A disaster can be an opportunity to grow if you change your mindset
To come out the other side of major risk event stronger includes being ready to seize new business opportunities as well as mitigate downside risk impact.
You may be able to bring forward future planning as result of risk event. If you have a major fire then do not just build what you had before. Bring forward better ways of working that you may have planned for 5 years time prior to risk event.
Competitors who are not resilient as your business may not survive crisis. This may allow you to change pricing or provide opportunity to introduce new marketing campaign to mop up their customers.
You products or services may simply be more in demand after the crisis than before it. Attitudes of business buyers and consumers will change during and after the crisis. Your business maybe well positioned to take advantage of change of attitude to sell more and grow your business faster.
There is nothing morally bad about making the most of a bad situation. If you survive a crisis you have the right to explore a new way of working that will benefit both your business consumers and society.
Many great inventions or innovations have been introduced and transformed life and business due to mistakes. Some new drugs and products were discovered when the inventor or developer was trying to achieve something totally different from what transpired as brilliance.
Necessity is the mother of invention
When forced into an existential situation it is human nature to fight to survive. There will always be risk events that threaten survival in business. Sometimes they risk event may be located on one business. On rare occasions a risk event threats whole business systems of working.
Around every 10 years business leaders should expect a financial crisis that threatens business survival. It is almost impossible to know how the financial crisis will arise. The cause of the risk event that creates the crisis is less important than the resilience to overcome the impact on your business.
Th last financial crisis was 2008. May countries in Europe have still not recovered from the 2008 financial crisis never mind businesses.
If you are in business for the long haul then you need to be prepared for at least one financial crisis every 10 years. In between you need to be ready for your own individual crisis’s that pop up just for your business.
Learning opportunities from a crisis
Major risk events are perhaps alarmingly more frequent than one expects. Rather than being overly alarmed maybe the best thing to do is learn from risk events. Take the good from the bad to improve future business performance.
Do not press the panic button
We can also learn from other businesses who make mistakes on our behalf! If they suffer find out what they did wrong learn from their mistakes and make sure your business does not suffer the same consequences.

Many risk events are possible. However how do you manage your resources cost effectively to control risks whilst boosting business performance?
When beginning the risk management process identify risks that could impact on your business objectives. Look at the whole business at once rather than individual silos functions or departments.
Do not make assumptions at the beginning about the level of risk or effectiveness of risk control measures. Assume that what you currently do risk management wise will not work or not work well enough to control risks.
Consult experts within your business at all levels and experts outside of your business who may have an understanding of your risks. Focus your attention on key internal and external drivers of risk that may have significant impact on your business objectives.
Your business risk exposure needs to be right for your risk management culture. What is your appetite for risk? How much risk can your business tolerate? Getting the balance right is key for sustainable business success.
Reduce or eliminate threats as soon as they appear on the horizon. Seize new business opportunities before your competitors do. Anticipate and plan for future risks. React quickly to current or unexpected risk events.
Risk analysis and Holistic Enterprise Wide Risk Management Approach Will Improve Your Business Decision Making To Boost Business Performance
Manage risks better. Minimise the impact of risk on your business plans. Manage potential problems easier quicker and less expensively. Stop the undermining of key business initiatives or projects by risk events. Explore possible future threats.
Identify business opportunities for growth. Back the best ones to maximise return in investment of time and money. Boost the profit from the best new ideas. Manage opportunities for greater success better.
Create the right risk management framework and enterprise wide risk assessment process for your business
The source of your business risks can be wide and varied. Often they are specific to your business. Sometimes the affect just your industry or geographic location. Occasionally they affect most of the world like the financial crisis of 2008 or global pandemic like 2020.
The impact on your business maybe life giving like if your business is a deep cleaning business or face mask manufacturer in coronavirus outbreak. Or risk events can destroy your business and it may never recover. Your risk management assessment and approach to risk control needs to be tailored to your business.
Not all risks are bad and bad risk events can be good for your specific business in so many different ways. For example the coronavirus tragically will kill thousands of people. In addition many businesses will fail including many of your competitors. Out of the flames the phoenixes will rise. The challenge is to make sure your business and your people survive and prosper no matter what risks are thrown at your business.
Put your great ideas into action with more confidence. Continue to be optimistic about your future. The way your business could and perhaps should change forever not just to get through coronavirus. Learn the lessons from horrifically tragic risk events. Seize the opportunities coming from the 4th industrial revolution. Survive and prosper today tomorrow and then next day no matter what risks you face no matter where you do business and no matter what industry you are in.
Some risks hit you like a ton of bricks. Other risks are more subtle. They creep up on you. You do not know that you are at risk until it can be too late. Enterprise wide risk management means continuous tweaking and adjustment. What is right today may not work tomorrow. The key is to review what has happened but keep your eye on the horizon to ensure you are prepared. Whether you produce the risks internally or have external risks imposed upon your business know what to do when to do it and get to where you want to be regardless.

Deutsche Bank currency guru says it’s ‘time to sell the dollar’ as greenback sees longest losing streak since 2021
The dollar has been on a losing streak in recent weeks, and a top currency strategist at Deutsche Bank is betting that the trend will continue.
George Saravelos, global co-head of FX research at Deutsche Bank, said in a note to clients on Thursday that he’s once again betting that the dollar will weaken against the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, and other major currencies.
“We believe that the dollar’s recent weakness is more than just a temporary correction,” Saravelos said. “We see a number of factors that are likely to keep the dollar under pressure in the coming months.”
One of the factors that Saravelos is pointing to is the Federal Reserve’s plans to raise interest rates. The Fed is expected to raise rates several times this year in an effort to combat inflation. However, Saravelos believes that the Fed’s rate hikes will be less effective than they have been in the past because the global economy is now in a different phase.
“The global economy is no longer in a synchronised growth upswing,” Saravelos said. “This means that the Fed’s rate hikes are likely to have a more muted impact on economic activity and inflation than they would have in the past.”
Another factor that Saravelos is pointing to is the strength of the euro. The euro has been rising in recent weeks, and Saravelos believes that this trend is likely to continue.
“The euro is benefiting from a number of factors, including the strong performance of the European economy,” Saravelos said. “We believe that the euro is likely to continue to outperform the dollar in the coming months.”
Saravelos’s call is a reversal of his previous stance. In January, he said that the dollar was “oversold” and that he expected it to rebound. However, he has since changed his view, and he now believes that the dollar is likely to continue to weaken.
Saravelos’s call is in line with the views of other currency analysts. A recent survey by Bloomberg found that 60% of currency analysts believe that the dollar will weaken in the coming months.
If Saravelos is right, it could have a significant impact on the global economy. The dollar is the world’s reserve currency, and its value has a major impact on the prices of commodities, assets, and goods. If the dollar weakens, it could lead to higher inflation and lower economic growth.
Of course, it’s impossible to say for sure what will happen to the dollar in the future. However, Saravelos’s call is a warning that the greenback’s days of dominance may be coming to an end.
In addition to the factors mentioned by Saravelos, there are a few other reasons why the dollar could continue to weaken.
The US trade deficit is widening. This means that the US is importing more goods and services than it is exporting. This puts downward pressure on the dollar.
The US economy is growing more slowly than other major economies. This means that investors are less likely to hold dollars as a safe haven.
The US political landscape is becoming more polarised. This could lead to uncertainty and volatility in the markets, which could also weigh on the dollar.
Of course, there are also some factors that could support the dollar. For example, if the Fed raises interest rates more aggressively than expected, it could boost the dollar’s value. However, overall, the trend seems to be pointing towards a weaker dollar.
What does this mean for investors?
If you are an investor who is holding dollars, you may want to consider hedging your bets by investing in other currencies. You may also want to consider investing in assets that are less sensitive to changes in the dollar’s value.
If you are a business that exports goods or services, you may benefit from a weaker dollar. This is because a weaker dollar will make your goods or services cheaper for foreign buyers.
Overall, the outlook for the dollar is uncertain. However, there are a number of factors that could lead to a weaker dollar in the coming months. Investors and businesses should be aware of these factors and should adjust their strategies accordingly

How to overcome loss aversion with BusinessRiskTV.com
How do we make the best use of available business assets and resources to maximise return of investment of time and money
Fear of loss often beats the desire to gain more. Fearing losing everything you have built is natural human reaction. However is your fear getting in the way of seizing new business opportunities? Keep innovating and growing with less uncertainty with BusinessRiskTV.
Develop a holistic risk management culture to drive your business forward. Up your risk appetite to achieve more with more controlled balanced risk taking.
The biggest factor in business leader decision making is fear of loss. People worry about loss more than securing gains.
BusinessRiskTV
Develop a more assured risk management framework and risk assessment process to match your risk culture. Make sure your risk taking remains within your risk tolerance.
Do you have loss aversion bias in decision making?
Business leaders who are loss averse feel the pain of loss much greater that any joy from any gains from decisions made. They make strategic business decisions accordingly. The risk culture of the business models the loss aversion bias of the business leader.
If this works well for your business you should continue with status quo. However if you would like to experience faster business growth you may need to take more calculated risks.
Loss aversion refers to the tendency to prefer avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. It is better for you to not lose 10000 pounds than to make 10000 pounds in business.
BusinessRiskTV
However most entrepreneurs and many business leaders are in their position to better themselves. If you mitigate the potential losses from taking more risks and manage the risks to maximise the return on your investment you should end up with faster growth with less uncertainty.
It is more common in people who are not entrepreneurs or business leaders to be biased against taking risks. Loss aversion is a reflection of a general bias in human psychology. People tend to want to stick with what they know than make changes that might not work well. People in general are resistant to change. When presented with the potential benefits of change they focus more on what might be lost rather than on what can be gained.
What is your business risk tolerance? If you can make changes to try to grow faster that if do not work fall within your risk tolerance would you take more risk?
If you adopted small changes rather than one big radical all eggs in one basket change would you feel more comfortable? Spreading your faster business growth changes across a few new ideas may be better for your business. When you know which one of the new changes works best perhaps then you can focus on one new idea.
Do not confuse more risk taking in business with gambling. Taking calculated risks to grow faster is about assessing and then managing the risks before you action more risk taking. You can mitigate the threats from more risk as well as maximise the returns from taking more risks.
Few things in business life are guaranteed other than taxes! Even maintaining the status quo comes with the threat of business failure. Kodack photography business was once one of the most successful businesses in the world. How many Kodack films do you buy for your camera now!
The desire to avoid business losses is motivated by fear. The more a business leader fears losses the more likely he or she is to be loss averse and the more likely they are to be disinclined to make changes to their business to be more successful. Having a better understanding of the risks that could be taken to achieve more will make loss averse business leaders more comfortable with changing the the business.
Often the perception of risks and reward are skewed to the belief that you are doomed to fail which means you do not make changes to the business. By the same token it is important that all stakeholders in the business are involved in assessing risks from changes to business. Business leaders who do like taking risks can miss the pitfalls to mitigate against whilst making changes that can cause the change project fail even if it was a great idea.
With a little input and engagement from all levels of the organisation your project to grow faster is more likely to be a success. Take risks that are worth taking which are achievable with everyone onboard.

In today’s dynamic and interconnected business landscape, managing risks has become an essential aspect of successful enterprise management. Organisations face a wide range of risks, including financial, operational, strategic, and reputational risks, which can significantly impact their ability to achieve objectives and thrive in a competitive environment. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) provides a comprehensive framework and process for identifying, assessing, and mitigating these risks to ensure sustainable growth and resilience. This article serves as a guide to understanding and implementing ERM within organisations.
Understanding Enterprise Risk Management:
Enterprise Risk Management is a strategic approach that enables organisations to proactively identify, assess, and manage risks across all levels and functions. It involves the systematic integration of risk management practices into an organisation’s decision-making processes, governance structure, and operations. ERM goes beyond traditional risk management, which often focuses on isolated risks, by considering the interdependencies and cumulative effects of risks on an enterprise-wide basis.
Key Components of Enterprise Risk Management:
a. Risk Identification: The first step in ERM is identifying and cataloging all potential risks that may affect the organisation. This involves gathering information from various sources, including internal stakeholders, external experts, industry reports, and historical data. The goal is to create a comprehensive risk register that captures both known and emerging risks.
b. Risk Assessment: Once risks are identified, they need to be assessed in terms of their likelihood of occurrence and potential impact. This step involves qualitative and quantitative analysis to prioritise risks based on their significance. Risk assessment techniques may include scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and probabilistic modeling.
c. Risk Mitigation: After assessing risks, organisations develop risk mitigation strategies to reduce the likelihood or impact of identified risks. These strategies may involve implementing controls, transferring risks through insurance or contracts, accepting risks within predetermined tolerance levels, or avoiding risks altogether by changing business practices or diversifying operations.
d. Risk Monitoring and Reporting: ERM is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring of risks to ensure their effectiveness. Organisations should establish clear risk indicators and thresholds to detect changes in risk levels and trigger appropriate actions. Regular reporting on risk exposures, mitigation efforts, and performance against risk objectives is essential to keep stakeholders informed and accountable.
e. Risk Culture and Communication: ERM is most effective when risk management becomes an integral part of an organisation’s culture. This involves fostering a risk-aware mindset among employees, encouraging open communication about risks, and embedding risk management practices in daily operations. Effective communication channels should be established to facilitate the flow of risk-related information across all levels of the organisation.
Benefits of Enterprise Risk Management:
Implementing ERM brings several benefits to organisations:
a. Improved Decision Making: ERM provides decision-makers with a holistic view of risks, enabling them to make informed choices that align with the organisation’s risk appetite and strategic objectives. By considering risk factors, organisations can avoid costly mistakes and capitalise on opportunities.
b. Enhanced Resilience: ERM helps organisations become more resilient in the face of uncertainties and disruptions. By systematically managing risks, organisations can better anticipate and respond to potential threats, minimising their negative impact and quickly recovering from adverse events.
c. Competitive Advantage: Effective ERM enables organisations to differentiate themselves by demonstrating strong risk management practices to customers, investors, and regulators. This can enhance their reputation, attract new business opportunities, and improve access to capital.
d. Regulatory Compliance: ERM assists organisations in complying with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. By proactively managing risks, organisations can identify compliance gaps and take corrective actions to avoid penalties and reputational damage.
e. Cost Optimization: ERM helps organisations optimise resource allocation by identifying areas of inefficiency, waste, or excessive risk-taking. By streamlining processes, eliminating redundancies, and aligning risk management efforts, organisations can reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
Implementing Enterprise Risk Management:
To successfully implement ERM, organisations should consider the following steps:
a. Leadership Commitment: Senior management should demonstrate a strong commitment to ERM and actively champion its adoption throughout the organisation. This includes allocating resources, defining roles and responsibilities, and fostering a risk-aware culture.
b. Risk Governance: Establish a clear governance structure for ERM, with defined roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines. Designate a risk officer or risk management team to oversee the ERM process and ensure its integration into decision-making at all levels.
c. Risk Framework: Develop a risk management framework tailored to the organisation’s specific needs and industry context. This framework should outline the key components of ERM, including risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting.
d. Risk Assessment and Prioritisation: Conduct a comprehensive risk assessment to identify and prioritise risks based on their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. This assessment should involve input from relevant stakeholders and utilise appropriate risk analysis techniques.
e. Risk Mitigation Strategies: Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies that align with the organisation’s risk appetite and strategic objectives. These strategies should be tailored to address specific risks and may involve a combination of controls, risk transfer mechanisms, and process improvements.
f. Integration with Business Processes: Embed risk management practices into existing business processes and decision-making frameworks. This includes integrating risk considerations into strategic planning, project management, performance evaluation, and budgeting processes.
g. Training and Awareness: Provide training and awareness programs to educate employees about ERM principles, methodologies, and their role in managing risks. Foster a culture of risk awareness, where employees are encouraged to report and escalate potential risks.
h. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: Establish a system for ongoing risk monitoring and reporting. Regularly review and update the risk register, assess the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures, and identify emerging risks. Continuously improve the ERM process based on lessons learned and feedback from stakeholders.
Overcoming Challenges in Enterprise Risk Management:
Implementing ERM can present challenges, but organisations can overcome them with proper planning and execution:
a. Organisational Silos: ERM requires collaboration and information sharing across different functions and departments. Breaking down silos and fostering cross-functional communication is essential for effective risk management.
b. Resistance to Change: Resistance to change can hinder the adoption of ERM. Organisations should invest in change management efforts, addressing concerns, and providing training and support to employees.
c. Data and Information Management: ERM relies on accurate and timely data and information. Organisations should establish robust data management systems, ensure data integrity, and leverage technology solutions for data collection, analysis, and reporting.
d. Risk Appetite Alignment: Aligning risk appetite across the organisation can be challenging. Clear communication and dialogue between senior management and relevant stakeholders are crucial to establish a shared understanding of risk tolerance and strategic objectives.
e. Evolving Risk Landscape: The risk landscape is continuously evolving, with new risks emerging and existing risks evolving. Organisations should stay updated on industry trends, regulatory changes, and emerging risks to ensure the relevance and effectiveness of their ERM practices.
Enterprise Risk Management is a strategic imperative for organizations to navigate the complexities and uncertainties of the modern business environment. By adopting a comprehensive ERM framework, organisations can proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks, enabling them to make informed decisions, enhance resilience, and gain a competitive advantage. Successful implementation of ERM requires leadership commitment, a robust governance structure, integration with business processes, and a risk-aware culture. Overcoming challenges and continuously improving the ERM process will contribute to long-term success and sustainability in today’s dynamic business landscape.

Global economic issues and trends with BusinessRiskTV.com
What are the biggest risks to the global economy?
Although unpredictable lets try and predict the future! What is exciting is that clearly there are many threats particularly from the environment and trade wars. There are also massive opportunities for business leaders who are in control of their own business risks.
What are the biggest threats and opportunities to the world in the new decade?
BusinessRiskTV
Some of the biggest global risks business leaders have little control over. Warfare and mass destruction global inequality between countries and unequal economic development creating mass economic migration global trade wars global pandemics political shift towards popularity driven left or right wing positions and systemic collapse of the financial markets. Contingency planning is the best that business leaders can do to manage most of such global catastrophic risks.
However there are risks business leaders do have the potential to have control over but do not always control such global occurring risks. Global risks falling into this category include deteriorating natural environment and global warming as well as cyber attacks.
Many of the risk management solutions for one global risk can manage the threat and opportunity from another risk without extra investment of time or money.
BusinessRiskTV
BusinessRiskTV is scanning for threats and opportunities to the global economy in the new decade. If you look for it you can still see an abundance of wealth and opportunity globally and locally.
Global Recession?
Putting warfare and mass destruction risk to one side the most likely cause of a global recession is the continuing or deterioration of global trade wars.
The climate threat has come off age! The solutions are already known. However the will is less obvious. The financial services industry particularly banks will probably be the biggest influencers in driving environmental protection. Many banks and investors are refusing to finance coal businesses and are threatening divestment and lack of funding for other fossil fuel businesses. Even the governor of the Bank of England has told pension fund managers to sort out investment in fossil fuel based businesses.
The flip side of this is the opportunity to make money from environmental protection. Existing and developing environmental protection technologies are a real business opportunity. Even if your business does not sell environmental protection products or services your brand needs protecting via the adoption of good environmental protection policy.
The world is drowning in debt and fake money. Government corporate and personal debt. How future generations will cope with the weight of debt when many in the developed world are also going to suffer the effects of demographic time bomb detonation. Quite frightening! However one way to cope with future and present global risks is for governments to invest money in infrastructure particularly 5G communication and utilities. Many of the innovation and inventions are going to rely on power and the internet.Necessity is the mother of invention but with power and faster communication we will be trapped in the past with only a vision of how much better our future could be globally.

The global landscape is changing rapidly, with new risks emerging every day. From geopolitical tensions to cybersecurity threats, businesses around the world are facing a complex and constantly evolving set of risks that they must manage in order to survive and thrive. In this article, we will explore some of the most pressing global risks that businesses need to be aware of and offer some strategies for managing them effectively.
Geopolitical Risks
Geopolitical risks are those that arise from political tensions between countries or regions. These risks can take many forms, including trade wars, sanctions, and military conflicts. One recent example of a geopolitical risk is the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, which has had significant implications for businesses around the world.
To manage geopolitical risks, businesses need to stay informed about political developments in the regions where they operate. They should also be proactive in diversifying their supply chains and hedging against currency fluctuations. In addition, businesses can consider partnering with local organisations or governments to gain a better understanding of the political environment and mitigate potential risks.
Cybersecurity Risks
Cybersecurity risks are those that arise from the increasing use of technology and the internet. As businesses become more reliant on digital systems and data, they also become more vulnerable to cyber attacks. These attacks can take many forms, including ransomware, phishing, and malware.
To manage cybersecurity risks, businesses need to invest in robust cybersecurity measures, such as firewalls, encryption, and regular system updates. They should also educate their employees about best practices for online security, such as avoiding suspicious emails and using strong passwords. In addition, businesses can consider purchasing cyber insurance to mitigate the financial impact of a cyber attack.
Climate Change Risks
Climate change risks are those that arise from the impact of climate change on the environment and society. These risks can take many forms, including extreme weather events, sea level rise, and food and water scarcity. The impact of climate change is already being felt around the world, and businesses need to be prepared for the potential consequences.
To manage climate change risks, businesses can take a number of steps. They can invest in renewable energy sources and other sustainable technologies to reduce their carbon footprint. They can also develop contingency plans for extreme weather events and other climate-related risks. In addition, businesses can consider partnering with governments and NGOs to address climate change at a systemic level.
Supply Chain Risks
Supply chain risks are those that arise from disruptions to the flow of goods and services. These disruptions can be caused by a variety of factors, including natural disasters, political unrest, and pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, has had a significant impact on global supply chains, causing shortages of critical goods and disrupting manufacturing and distribution networks.
To manage supply chain risks, businesses need to develop contingency plans for disruptions, such as alternative suppliers and backup inventory. They should also be proactive in identifying potential risks in their supply chains and implementing measures to mitigate them. In addition, businesses can consider investing in technologies, such as blockchain and IoT, to improve supply chain visibility and resilience.
Financial Risks
Financial risks are those that arise from changes in the financial markets or economic conditions. These risks can take many forms, including fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. They can also be caused by systemic risks, such as a global recession or financial crisis.
To manage financial risks, businesses need to be proactive in monitoring financial markets and economic conditions. They should also develop contingency plans for potential disruptions, such as currency hedging strategies and diversified investment portfolios. In addition, businesses can consider partnering with financial institutions and other experts to gain a deeper understanding of financial risks and opportunities.
Managing global risks is a complex and ongoing process for businesses around the world. By staying informed about emerging risks and implementing proactive measures to mitigate them, businesses can reduce their exposure to potential losses and position themselves for long-term success.
It’s important to recognise that global risks are interconnected, meaning that a disruption in one area can have ripple effects across multiple industries and regions. For this reason, businesses need to take a holistic approach to risk management, considering the potential impact of each risk on their operations and stakeholders.
In addition to the strategies outlined above, businesses can also consider partnering with risk management experts and other organisations to stay informed about emerging risks and best practices for risk management. By taking a collaborative approach to risk management, businesses can better anticipate and manage global risks, while also positioning themselves for long-term success in an ever-changing landscape.
Overall, businesses that are able to effectively manage global risks will be better positioned to thrive in a rapidly changing world. By staying informed, developing contingency plans, and investing in resilience, businesses can reduce their exposure to potential losses and position themselves for long-term success.

Enterprise Risk Management
Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a holistic approach to risk management that involves identifying, assessing, and managing risks across the entire organisation.

This can help businesses minimise the financial and reputational impact of a disruption, and ensure that they can continue to meet the needs of their customers and stakeholders.
Cyber Risk Management
Cyber risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and managing risks related to information security and technology. With the increasing reliance on technology in business operations, cyber risks have become a major concern for businesses worldwide. Cyber risks can include data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other forms of cybercrime that can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.

Unleashing the Power of Global Networking: Advantages for Businesses
In today’s interconnected world, businesses are increasingly recognising the significance of global networking. Building connections and fostering relationships across borders has become a crucial strategy for organisations seeking growth, innovation, and a competitive edge. In this article, we will delve into the numerous advantages that global networking offers to businesses of all sizes and industries. By leveraging the power of connectivity, businesses can unlock new opportunities, gain valuable insights, and expand their reach on a global scale. Read on to discover how global networking can propel your business to new heights.
Enhanced Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: Global networking opens the doors to collaboration with individuals and organisations from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and expertise. By connecting with professionals worldwide, businesses can tap into a vast pool of knowledge, insights, and perspectives. This exposure to different ideas and approaches fosters innovation and creativity within organisations.
Moreover, global networking provides opportunities to participate in conferences, seminars, and industry events, where experts and thought leaders share their expertise. These interactions enable businesses to stay updated with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices, enhancing their competitiveness in the global market.
Access to New Markets and Business Opportunities: One of the most significant advantages of global networking is the ability to access new markets and expand business opportunities beyond borders. By establishing connections with international partners, businesses can gain valuable insights into local markets, consumer preferences, and cultural nuances. This knowledge allows organisations to tailor their products or services to meet the specific needs of diverse markets, increasing their chances of success.
Furthermore, global networking provides a platform for businesses to showcase their offerings to a wider audience. Through cross-border collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic partnerships, companies can enter new markets with reduced risks and enhanced market knowledge. This enables them to tap into untapped customer segments, diversify their revenue streams, and drive sustainable growth.
Building a Stronger Brand and Reputation: Global networking offers businesses the opportunity to build a stronger brand and reputation on a global scale. By connecting with influential individuals and organisations, companies can enhance their visibility and credibility within their industry and beyond. Positive endorsements and collaborations with reputable international partners can significantly impact a business’s brand image and attract new customers.
Additionally, active participation in global networking events, industry forums, and online communities allows businesses to showcase their expertise, thought leadership, and unique value propositions. This exposure positions them as industry leaders and trusted authorities in their respective domains, further strengthening their brand reputation.
Recruitment of Global Talent: Global networking provides businesses with access to a vast talent pool from around the world. By establishing connections with professionals and organisations internationally, companies can tap into a diverse range of skills, experiences, and perspectives. This enables them to recruit top talent from different cultural and educational backgrounds, bringing fresh ideas and innovative approaches to their teams.
Moreover, global networking facilitates the identification of potential partners, suppliers, and collaborators who can contribute to a business’s growth and success. By connecting with like-minded professionals, businesses can build strategic relationships that foster innovation, create synergies, and drive mutual growth.
Global networking has emerged as a vital tool for businesses seeking growth, innovation, and success in the global marketplace. By leveraging the advantages of global networking, businesses can enhance collaboration, access new markets, build a stronger brand, and recruit top talent from around the world. Embracing a global mindset and actively participating in networking activities can open doors to unprecedented opportunities and pave the way for long-term success.
In an increasingly interconnected world, businesses cannot afford to operate in isolation. Establishing and nurturing global connections allows organisations to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the rapidly changing global business landscape. Whether it’s through attending international conferences, leveraging online platforms, or forging partnerships with organisations worldwide, businesses can harness the power of global networking to propel their growth.
The advantages of global networking for businesses are undeniable. From enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing to accessing new markets and business opportunities, building a stronger brand and reputation, and recruiting global talent, the benefits are vast. Embracing a global networking mindset is no longer a luxury but a necessity in today’s hyperconnected world.
To make the most of global networking, businesses should actively seek opportunities to connect with professionals, industry experts, and potential partners on a global scale. They can explore online networking platforms, join industry-specific communities, participate in international events and conferences, and establish strategic partnerships with organisations in different countries.
However, it’s essential to approach global networking with a genuine intent to build meaningful relationships and provide value to others. Networking is not just about self-promotion; it’s about establishing mutually beneficial connections and fostering a collaborative ecosystem.
By capitalising on the advantages of global networking, businesses can expand their horizons, tap into new markets, stay abreast of industry trends, and unlock innovation. In this fast-paced and interconnected world, building a strong global network is a powerful asset that can set businesses apart from the competition and pave the way for sustained success.
So, don’t wait any longer. Start exploring the world of global networking and unlock the limitless opportunities it offers to take your business to new heights of success in the global marketplace. Embrace the power of connectivity, foster collaborations, and position your business as a global player in your industry.

Risk Appetite and Risk Tolerance
Negativity bias means in part we focus more on stopping bad things from happening than creating the environment for great good things to happen. For example, we focus on stopping climate damage instead of investing money in better natural environment. We spend more money to risk control instead of seizing new business opportunities which create risk but also create more rewards for risk takers.

A business risk assessment is a systematic process that helps organisations identify, evaluate, and prioritise risks that may impact their operations, financial performance, and reputation. It is an essential tool for managing risk and ensuring the long-term viability of a business.
There are several key elements that a business risk assessment should include:
Identifying the risks: The first step in the risk assessment process is to identify the potential risks that the business may face. This can include internal risks, such as operational inefficiencies or employee misconduct, as well as external risks, such as market changes or natural disasters.
Evaluating the risks: Once the risks have been identified, the next step is to evaluate their potential impact on the business. This includes considering the likelihood of each risk occurring, as well as the potential consequences if it does.
Prioritising the risks: After evaluating the risks, the next step is to prioritise them based on their potential impact on the business. This will help the organisation focus its resources on the most significant risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Developing risk management strategies: Once the risks have been prioritised, the next step is to develop strategies to mitigate them. This can include implementing control measures to prevent or reduce the likelihood of risks occurring, or transferring the risk to another party through insurance or other means.
Monitoring and reviewing the risks: The risk assessment process is ongoing and should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective. This includes monitoring the risks and identifying any new or emerging risks that may have arisen since the last assessment.
In summary, a business risk assessment should include the following key elements:
Identifying the risks
Evaluating the risks
Prioritizing the risks
Developing risk management strategies
Monitoring and reviewing the risks
Every business faces risks that could be a threat to its success
The business leaders who are better prepared for these risks and have a cost effective risk management plan and business strategy are more likely to be more successful.

Guide To Problem Solving With BusinessRiskTV
Common Biz Problems & Solutions
Common Business Problems: Impediments and the BusinessRiskTV Guide to Problem Solving
Running a business is an intricate endeavour filled with various challenges. From startup ventures to well-established corporations, businesses face a range of problems that can hinder their growth, profitability, and overall success. Recognising and addressing these issues promptly is crucial to ensure the longevity and prosperity of any organisation. In this article, we will explore some common business problems, discuss why they impede businesses, and present the BusinessRiskTV Guide to Problem Solving.
I. Financial Constraints
One of the most prevalent issues faced by businesses is financial constraints. Limited access to capital, cash flow problems, and high operating costs can cripple an organisation’s ability to invest, expand, and innovate. Insufficient funding can prevent businesses from hiring top talent, acquiring necessary resources, and adapting to market changes. Without a strong financial foundation, companies may struggle to remain competitive and sustain their operations in the long run.
II. Lack of Innovation
Innovation is vital for businesses to stay relevant and competitive in today’s dynamic market. However, many organisations face the challenge of stagnation and a lack of innovation. This problem can arise due to a rigid organisational structure, resistance to change, or a failure to allocate resources for research and development. Without a focus on innovation, businesses may fail to keep up with evolving customer demands and technological advancements, ultimately losing their competitive edge.
III. Ineffective Marketing and Branding
Marketing and branding play a significant role in shaping a business’s perception among consumers. However, many companies struggle with developing effective marketing strategies and building a strong brand identity. Inadequate market research, ineffective communication, and a lack of brand consistency can lead to low customer engagement, reduced sales, and difficulty in attracting new customers. Without a robust marketing and branding approach, businesses may fail to differentiate themselves from competitors and struggle to establish a loyal customer base.
IV. Poor Customer Service
Customer satisfaction is paramount to the success of any business. However, poor customer service can drive customers away and damage a company’s reputation. Insufficiently trained staff, unresponsive customer support, and ineffective complaint resolution processes can create negative experiences for customers. This can result in lost sales, diminished customer loyalty, and negative word-of-mouth publicity, all of which can have a significant impact on a business’s bottom line.
V. Operational Inefficiencies
Operational inefficiencies can arise from various factors, including ineffective processes, poor supply chain management, and inadequate resource utilisation. These inefficiencies lead to delays, increased costs, and reduced productivity. Over time, they can result in decreased customer satisfaction, decreased profit margins, and a loss of competitive advantage. Addressing operational inefficiencies is crucial for optimising business performance and ensuring smooth operations.
VI. Human Resources Challenges
Managing human resources can be a complex task for businesses. Challenges such as attracting and retaining top talent, fostering employee engagement, and addressing conflicts within the workplace can impede productivity and hinder organizational growth. Failure to create a positive work culture and provide opportunities for professional development can lead to high turnover rates and a loss of valuable expertise. Investing in human resources and addressing these challenges is essential for building a motivated and skilled workforce.
BusinessRiskTV Guide to Problem Solving
To overcome the common business problems outlined above, the BusinessRiskTV Guide to Problem Solving offers a systematic approach to identify, analyse, and address issues effectively. Here are the key steps of the guide:
Problem Identification: Thoroughly examine your business operations and identify the specific problems hindering growth and success. This could involve conducting surveys, analysing data, and soliciting feedback from employees and customers.
Root Cause Analysis: Determine the underlying causes of the identified problems. Look beyond surface-level symptoms to identify the core issues impacting your business. Use tools such as the “Five Whys” technique to delve deeper into the root causes of the problems.
Prioritisation: Prioritise the identified problems based on their potential impact on the business and the feasibility of addressing them. Focus on tackling the most critical issues first to maximise the positive impact on your organisation.
Collaborative Approach: Involve key stakeholders, including employees, managers, and customers, in the problem-solving process. Embrace diverse perspectives and encourage open communication to gain a comprehensive understanding of the problems and potential solutions.
Solution Generation: Brainstorm potential solutions to address the identified problems. Encourage creativity and innovation during this stage. Consider both short-term fixes and long-term strategies that align with your business goals.
Evaluation and Selection: Evaluate each potential solution based on its feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with your business objectives. Select the solutions that are most likely to deliver positive results and address the root causes of the problems effectively.
Implementation: Develop a detailed action plan for implementing the selected solutions. Assign responsibilities, set deadlines, and allocate necessary resources. Communicate the plan to all stakeholders and ensure everyone is aligned and committed to the implementation process.
Monitoring and Evaluation: Continuously monitor the progress of the implemented solutions and evaluate their effectiveness. Use key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the impact of the solutions on your business. Make adjustments as needed to optimise the outcomes.
Continuous Improvement: Problem-solving should be an ongoing process. Regularly review your business operations, gather feedback, and seek opportunities for improvement. Foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptation within your organization.
Common business problems can impede an organisation’s growth and success. However, by recognising these challenges and implementing effective problem-solving strategies, businesses can overcome these obstacles and thrive. The BusinessRiskTV Guide to Problem Solving provides a structured approach to identify, analyse, and address problems systematically, empowering businesses to make informed decisions and drive positive change. By prioritising problem-solving and embracing a culture of continuous improvement, businesses can overcome challenges, enhance their competitiveness, and pave the way for long-term success.

The future of financial services industry risk management is also changing with artificial intelligence divergent regulatory controls and splintering risk culture ambitions driving changes in practice.
Keep up to date with best risk management tools and techniques to improve your business decision making. The financial financial crisis is beginning. We just do not know where it started and what we are doing wrong. However being prepared for the next financial crisis should be part of a holistic enterprise risk management approach.
Chances are that fintech will play a role in the next financial crisis. Technology risks are a key risk factor for business growth and disaster for financial services companies in particular.
Lack of need to control risks will also play a role in the next financial crisis. The financial services industry has found it near impossible to manage its own risks without regulatory control. Dissipation in regulatory control will precipitate the financial services industry lunging over the cliff.
The fact that the financial services sector has still not recovered from the last financial crisis is another reason that another financial crisis will occur. ItalianChinese and Indian banks are in particular bursting at the seems with near unmanageable debt levels. Add to that boiling frothing pot of junk political instability in EuropeAsia and Americas then you have a perfect storm waiting to be unleashed.
Should we withdraw from business or investing? Of course not. It has always been thus. It has always been about the survival of the fittest. However what has changed is that there is increased realisation that the fittest are those businesses and investors who invest in socially responsible investing. Environmental social and governance risk factors are at play. The strongest are the ones who embrace this philosophy.
A holistic enterprise risk management approach to business management and investing is the future. If you are waiting to look back and acknowledge that with hindsight you will be one who suffers most from the next financial crisis. You may not survive the long term. If you are not looking to the long term then good luck to you. You might get lucky. If you are looking for long term sustainability get on the holistic enterprise risk management boat today. Create long term value through enterprise risk management today not tomorrow.

Globally Empty Office Buildings and Commercial Property Creating Debt Collapse, Systemic Threat to Banking System Worldwide
The COVID-19 pandemic and central banks response – overprinting of money out of thin air – has had a devastating impact on the global economy, and nowhere has this been more evident than in the commercial real estate sector. As businesses have been forced to close or operate remotely, millions of square feet of office space have been vacated, leaving office buildings empty around the world.
This has led to a sharp decline in property values, and many commercial real estate owners are now facing significant financial losses. In some cases, these losses have become so severe that they have forced property owners to default on their loans, which could have a ripple effect throughout the global banking system.
Who Has the Most Exposure to Commercial Real Estate?
The financial institutions that have the most exposure to commercial real estate are those that specialise in lending to businesses and developers. These institutions include commercial banks, investment banks, regional banks in USA and insurance companies.
According to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund, commercial banks worldwide have about $20 trillion in outstanding loans to commercial real estate borrowers. This represents about 10% of all bank lending globally.
Investment banks and insurance companies also have significant exposure to commercial real estate. Investment banks, for example, often underwrite and market commercial real estate bonds, which are a type of debt security that is backed by the income generated from rental properties. Insurance companies, on the other hand, often invest in commercial real estate through real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are companies that own and operate income-producing properties.
Are Banks in Danger?
The sharp decline in commercial real estate values has raised concerns that banks could be in danger of suffering significant losses on their loans to commercial real estate borrowers. In some cases, these losses could be so severe that they could force banks to default on their own debts, which could lead to a systemic financial crisis.
However, it is important to note that banks have a variety of tools at their disposal to manage their exposure to commercial real estate risk. For example, banks can sell off their commercial real estate loans to other investors, or they can take steps to restructure the terms of these loans. At the same time if the sea level is going down for all banks in real estate debt crisis will there be enough saviours?
In addition, the government can also play a role in helping to stabilise the commercial real estate market. For example, the government can provide financial assistance to banks that are struggling with commercial real estate losses, or it can provide tax breaks to businesses that are considering moving back into office space. At the same time this is inflationary and may result in even higher interest rates – problem delayed but worsened thereby extending and increasing length of recession creating depression.
How Many Office Buildings Are Empty in the US?
According to a recent survey by the commercial real estate firm CBRE, about 15% of office space in the United States is currently vacant. This represents about 250 million square feet of empty office space.
The vacancy rate is highest in major cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. In these cities, the vacancy rate is often above 20%.
The vacancy rate is also high in some smaller cities and towns. For example, the vacancy rate in the city of Detroit is currently over 30%.
These, official, vacancy rates seem lower than real levels other agencies produce and anecdotally.
Why Are the Banks in Trouble?
The banks are in trouble because they have lent too much money to commercial real estate borrowers. When these borrowers default on their loans, the banks are left holding the bag.
The banks are also in trouble because the value of their commercial real estate assets has declined. This decline in value has made it more difficult for the banks to sell these assets, and it has also reduced the amount of collateral that they have available to secure their loans.
The banks are also facing increased competition from non-bank lenders, such as private equity firms and hedge funds. These non-bank lenders are often willing to lend money to commercial real estate borrowers at lower interest rates than the banks.
Conclusion
The global pandemic has had a devastating impact on the commercial real estate sector, and this has led to significant financial losses for banks and other financial institutions. The situation is likely to get worse before it gets better, as more and more businesses continue to operate remotely. If it gets worse it will be a very long time – decades – before it gets better!
The government will need to play a role in helping to stabilise the commercial real estate market, and banks will need to take steps to manage their exposure to commercial real estate risk. If these steps are not taken, the global banking system could be in danger of a systemic crisis.

Managing Risk in Financial Services
Managing Risk in the Ever-Evolving Financial Services Industry
The financial services industry is a complex and dynamic sector that plays a vital role in the global economy. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including banking, insurance, investment management, and more. However, with the constant changes and uncertainties in the business landscape, managing risk has become a critical aspect of the financial services industry. In this article, we will explore the challenges and best practices of managing risk in the ever-evolving financial services industry.
The Changing Landscape of the Financial Services Industry
The financial services industry has gone through significant changes over the years, driven by various factors such as technological advancements, regulatory reforms, economic fluctuations, and changing customer preferences. These changes have brought new opportunities and challenges for businesses operating in this industry.
One of the significant changes in the financial services industry is the increasing reliance on technology. The digital revolution has transformed the way financial services are delivered and consumed. Fintech companies have emerged, leveraging technology to disrupt traditional financial services providers. This has resulted in increased competition and the need for traditional financial institutions to adapt and innovate to stay relevant.
Another change in the financial services industry is the evolving regulatory landscape. Governments and regulatory bodies around the world have implemented stringent regulations to safeguard consumers and ensure financial stability. These regulations, such as the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States and the MiFID II directive in the European Union, have increased compliance requirements for financial services firms. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and reputational damage, making effective risk management essential.
Economic fluctuations also impact the financial services industry. Economic downturns can lead to increased credit risk, market volatility, and liquidity challenges, while economic upturns can present growth opportunities. As the global economy becomes increasingly interconnected, events in one part of the world can have ripple effects on financial markets globally, making risk management more complex and critical.
Lastly, changing customer preferences and behaviors have also impacted the financial services industry. Customers now demand personalized and convenient financial services, with a focus on transparency and trust. This has led to a shift in business models, with a greater emphasis on customer-centricity and digital engagement. Firms need to understand customer preferences and manage reputational risk to maintain customer trust and loyalty.
Challenges in Risk Management in the Financial Services Industry
The evolving landscape of the financial services industry has brought about several challenges in managing risk effectively. Some of the significant challenges include:
Increasing Complexity: The financial services industry is highly complex, with numerous products, services, and processes. Risk managers need to understand the intricacies of various financial instruments, business models, and regulatory requirements to identify and manage risks effectively.
Changing Regulations: The regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, with new regulations being introduced and existing ones amended. Financial services firms need to stay abreast of these changes and ensure compliance, which requires significant resources and expertise.
Cybersecurity Risks: The increasing reliance on technology has also exposed the financial services industry to cybersecurity risks. Cyber threats, such as data breaches and ransomware attacks, can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.
Geopolitical Risks: Geopolitical events, such as trade disputes, political instability, and sanctions, can have significant impacts on the financial services industry. These events can affect global markets, currencies, and investment portfolios, leading to increased volatility and risk exposure.
Reputation Risk: Reputation is crucial in the financial services industry, and any damage to reputation can have severe consequences. Negative public perception, loss of customer trust, and regulatory scrutiny can all result in significant financial and operational impacts.
Operational Risks: The complex and interconnected nature of the financial services industry also presents operational risks. Operational failures, such as system outages, processing errors, and human errors, can disrupt business operations, cause financial losses, and harm reputation.
Risk of Financial Crime: Financial services firms are also exposed to risks related to financial crime, including money laundering, fraud, and corruption. These risks can arise from internal or external sources and can result in regulatory penalties, legal liabilities, and reputational damage.
Risk from Emerging Technologies: The rapid pace of technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cryptocurrency, presents both opportunities and risks for the financial services industry. Firms need to understand the risks associated with emerging technologies and implement effective risk management strategies to mitigate them.
Best Practices for Managing Risk in the Financial Services Industry
Given the challenges and complexities of managing risk in the financial services industry, it is essential for firms to adopt best practices to effectively mitigate risks. Here are some key best practices for managing risk in the financial services industry:
Develop a Robust Risk Management Framework: Financial services firms should establish a comprehensive risk management framework that includes risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting. This framework should be integrated into the firm’s overall strategy, operations, and decision-making processes.
Embrace a Risk Culture: Establishing a strong risk culture is critical for effective risk management. It involves fostering a culture where risk awareness and accountability are embedded in the organisation’s values, behaviours, and practices. This includes promoting open communication, risk transparency, and learning from mistakes.
Stay Abreast of Regulatory Changes: The financial services industry is heavily regulated, and firms need to stay updated with the latest regulatory changes that impact their operations. This includes understanding the implications of regulatory changes, ensuring compliance, and engaging with regulators proactively.
Enhance Cybersecurity Measures: Given the increasing cybersecurity risks, financial services firms should implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect their systems, data, and customer information. This includes regular cybersecurity assessments, employee training, and incident response plans.
Diversify Risk Management Strategies: Financial services firms should adopt a diversified approach to risk management. This includes diversifying investments, customers, and markets to reduce concentration risk. It also involves using risk transfer mechanisms such as insurance and derivatives to mitigate risks.
Conduct Comprehensive Due Diligence: Financial services firms should conduct comprehensive due diligence before entering into any business relationships, such as partnerships, acquisitions, or investments. This includes assessing the financial stability, reputation, and compliance of potential business partners to mitigate counterparty risk.
Implement Robust Compliance Programs: Compliance is a critical aspect of risk management in the financial services industry. Firms should establish robust compliance programs that include policies, procedures, and controls to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies.
Invest in Technology and Data Analytics: Technology and data analytics can play a significant role in enhancing risk management in the financial services industry. Firms should invest in advanced technologies, such as risk management software, data analytics tools, and machine learning algorithms, to identify, assess, and monitor risks effectively.
Continuously Monitor and Update Risk Management Strategies: Risk management is an ongoing process, and firms should continuously monitor and update their risk management strategies to adapt to changing business and market conditions. This includes conducting regular risk assessments, evaluating the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures, and making necessary adjustments as needed.
As the financial services industry continues to evolve, managing risk has become more critical than ever. Firms operating in this industry face various challenges, including increasing complexity, changing regulations, cybersecurity risks, geopolitical risks, reputation risk, operational risks, risk from emerging technologies, and risk from financial crime. However, by adopting best practices such as developing a robust risk management framework, embracing a risk culture, staying abreast of regulatory changes, enhancing cybersecurity measures, diversifying risk management strategies, conducting comprehensive due diligence, implementing robust compliance programs, investing in technology and data analytics, and continuously monitoring and updating risk management strategies, financial services firms can effectively mitigate risks and safeguard their operations, reputation, and financial stability.
It is crucial for financial services firms to recognize that risk management is not a one-time activity but an ongoing process that requires constant attention and adaptation. By proactively identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, firms can reduce the likelihood and impact of potential risk events and ensure their long-term sustainability.
In addition, fostering a strong risk culture within the organisation is essential for effective risk management. This involves creating an environment where risk awareness and accountability are valued, and employees at all levels are encouraged to report risks and concerns without fear of reprisal. A robust risk culture promotes open communication, transparency, and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
Furthermore, leveraging technology and data analytics can greatly enhance risk management efforts in the financial services industry. Advanced technologies, such as risk management software, data analytics tools, and machine learning algorithms, can enable firms to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies in vast amounts of data, allowing for more informed risk assessments and timely risk mitigation actions.
Lastly, financial services firms should stay updated with the latest regulatory changes and engage with regulators proactively. Regulatory requirements are constantly evolving, and firms need to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations to avoid penalties, legal liabilities, and reputational damage. Regular communication and collaboration with regulators can help firms understand the implications of regulatory changes and proactively address any potential compliance gaps.
In conclusion, managing risk is a critical aspect of operating in the financial services industry. With the increasing complexity and evolving landscape of this industry, firms need to adopt a proactive and comprehensive approach to risk management. By developing a robust risk management framework, fostering a strong risk culture, staying updated with regulatory changes, enhancing cybersecurity measures, diversifying risk management strategies, conducting comprehensive due diligence, implementing robust compliance programs, investing in technology and data analytics, and continuously monitoring and updating risk management strategies, financial services firms can effectively mitigate risks and ensure their long-term success. It is imperative for financial services firms to prioritise risk management and make it an integral part of their strategic planning and decision-making processes. By doing so, they can safeguard their operations, protect their reputation, and maintain the trust of their customers and stakeholders in the ever-changing landscape of the financial services industry.

There are several techniques that can be useful for managing business rules in an organisation. Here are some recommendations:
Documenting business rules: One of the most important techniques for managing business rules is to document them in a clear and concise manner. This can include using a variety of formats such as decision tables, flowcharts, and natural language descriptions.
Centralising business rules: To avoid inconsistencies and duplication of effort, it is advisable to centralise the management of business rules. This can be done using a dedicated software tool or a repository that stores the rules and makes them accessible to relevant stakeholders.
Version control: It is crucial to keep track of changes to business rules over time, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved. Version control techniques such as branching and merging can help in managing changes to business rules.
Testing and validation: Business rules should be tested and validated thoroughly to ensure their accuracy and effectiveness. This can be done using a variety of techniques such as unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing.
Auditing and monitoring: Regular auditing and monitoring of business rules can help to identify any potential issues or areas for improvement. This can be done using automated tools or through manual reviews.
Governance and ownership: Establishing clear governance and ownership of business rules is essential to ensure that they are being managed effectively. This can include assigning ownership to specific individuals or teams and establishing processes for reviewing and approving changes to business rules.
By following these techniques, organisations can effectively manage their business rules and ensure that they are aligned with their business objectives and regulatory requirements.
