So why the
hesitancy to invest in effective risk management? Typical objections to investing in risk management and possible responses.

Despite evidence that mature risk management programs add significant value, many organisations remain hesitant when it comes to adopting risk management and embedding their risk management processes.

This article has some of the typical queries / objections when it comes to investing in risk management.

Economic Review & Outlook 2016

Recently Nicky Weimar, the senior economist of Nedbank very kindly presented her “Economic Review and Outlook 2016” at our “Information Sharing Session” on the 5th of May 2016.

Please feel free to download her presentation and click here to see pictures and read the write-up on the event or click on “Watch Video” below to see the full video.

Once again, thank you, Nicky, for your time and most insightful presentation.
