#ChangingRisk

Risks are changing and risk management needs to change too. In order to remain relevant and continue to add tangible value to businesses, at StrategicRISK we believe risk management needs to evolve and change. That’s why we launched #ChangingRisk - a campaign promoting new thinking in risk.

#ChangingRisk gathers the views of the global risk community on how you think risk should evolve to better meet the needs of business. We really are passionate about really making a difference and changing risk management for the better. But we need your help so please get involved and email us at strategic.risk@nqsm.com with your thoughts.
