A comprehensive round-up of some of Mr Ingram's work (of IngramSure (UK) Ltd) on investigating the instability and risk that is built into the foundations  of the world's economies. Edward thinks that this is where Risk Managers need to assert themselves by getting involved in the design of the products that they are risk managing.


BORIS - Edward you have been telling me and much of the world on your blogs about your researches.

The past three years have seen a number of man-made and natural disasters bring risk management demands to the forefront of executives and board directors. Fat-tail risks that have a low probability, but a very high impact to the organization, such as the Japanese tsunami, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill or the euro-zone liquidity crisis, have been front and center, creating a renewed interest in enterprise risk management (ERM) practices.

Addressing Procyclicality

Really good paper on procyclicality and the problems with Basel III countercycle buffers

Perhaps one of the biggest issues facing banks with Basel III is how to address Procyclicality, especially if the bank is not running an Advanced IRB credit risk framework. Actually, just obtaining information about the different accepted practices on how to measure Procyclicality within a lending portfolio isn't so easy.

Just the other day however, I was pointed in the direction of a really good summary and p

Risk Leadership: The Value of Independence

I just read an article in a newsletter published by the Macquarie University natural hazard research group, Risk Frontiers, discussing the case of the six Italian scientists and a government official who were found guilty of manslaughter for "failing to adequately communicate the level of risk" regarding an earthquake swarm. Their conclusion - "A need for separation between the roles of scientists and that of authorities responsible for civil protection is strikingly clear. Scientists need to be

Metric Stream for Data in my Workshops.

You can't Always Get What You Want...

You want a risk management program that conforms to a particular STANDARD.  Standards usually present highly organized risk management systems.  But that is not what is needed for many of the threats that our firms face.   What We really need is a risk management program that fits our threats.
