2 Council on Competitiveness: Enterprise Resilience

3 A Private Sector Voice for Competitiveness COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE Mission The Council on Competitiveness is the only group of corporate CEOs, labor leaders and university presidents committed to ensuring the future prosperity of Americans through enhanced U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and the creation of high-value economic activity in the United States.

4 From Security to Enterprise Resilience COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE 2003: Symposium on Creating Opportunity out of Adversity 2005: Formation of the Competitiveness and Security Steering Committees 2006: Sector Case Studies to Identify Business Case for Security Chemical, Electric Power, Financial Services, Oil and Gas, Pharma Oct 2006: NASDAQ meeting. Aha! moments: This is about risk and resilience, not about security. ERM systems don’t assess operational risk exposure well Market makers (audit, insurance, ratings analysts) don’t value resilience Corporate Boards are “In the Dark” A business case cannot be made by focusing on high impact, low probability events

5 Be Careful Out There COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE The world is becoming turbulent faster than organizations are becoming resilient. Technological discontinuities, regulatory upheavals, geopolitical shocks, industry de- verticalization and disintermediation, abrupt shift in consumer taste and hordes of non-traditional competitors – these are just a few of the forces undermining the advantages of incumbency. Hamel and Valikangas Not to mention IT and supply chain disruptions, interdependencies, pandemics, climate change ….

6 Thriving in the Turbulent Economy COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE Risks are increasing because of: Complexity (technology, infrastructure) Connectivity (global interdependence) Pace and potential for cascading effects The ability to manage the risks of turbulence will be a competitive differentiator for companies – and for countries in a global economy.

8 The Importance of Operational Risk Management COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE Six of the top ten enterprise risks that keep CEOs up at night are operational risks and many of the others stem from a failure to manage operational risks effectively.

9 Operational Risk: Fastest Growing Risk Domain… COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE

10 …..With the Least Visibility to CEOs & Boards COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE

11 Operational Risk is defined, in Basel II as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Is this adequate? How do we get from after-action to anticipatory risk management (leading vs. lagging indicators)? How do we capture risk interdependencies (supply chain and IT; supply chain and energy)? How do we get from risk management to value protection? Finding a Common Lingo for Risk

12 COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE A decade ago, exposure to operational risks was thought to be trivial compared to financial exposure. Today, failure to manage operational risks has “bet the company” consequences. More than 800 companies that announced a supply chain disruption between 1989 and 2000 experienced 33-40% lower stock returns than their industry peers, regardless of industry, cause of disruption or time period. (Hendricks and Singhal, Georgia Tech) 25% of companies that experienced an IT outage lasting 2-6 days went bankrupt immediately. (Economist Intelligence Unit) 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within a year. ( Economist Intelligence Unit) Bet the Company Risks

13 COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE No Bridges: Risk management is segmented in different silos that have weak communications links between the silos and often none to business strategy and revenue growth. Lack of Tools: The tools, models and talent to manage operational risk are less sophisticated than those applied to manage market and credit risk, although operational risks are rising. Lack of Metrics: There are no metrics for effectiveness or return on investment, and no standards for best practice. Lack of Market Incentives: Market mechanisms don’t reward investment in risk management and resilience. What’s the Problem

14 Challenges for Operational Risk Managers COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE Establishing a common language Conversion of qualitative assessment into meaningful data Creation of leading, not just lagging indicators Understand interdependencies and cascading failure paths Move from compliance to business-led discipline Identify reporting indicators that matter to management Create the upside business case, not just loss avoidance

15 COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE Manage Outcomes, Not Triggers - Infinite number of risks, finite number of effects Link Risk to Value Creation, Not Just Value Protection - Companies make money by taking risks and lose money by failing to manage them Embed Risk Management Processes into Every Position - Everyone is accountable for risk management, but what is their accountability? Things to Think About for Companies

16 Best Practices: Risk Management DuPont Style COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE

17 Best Practices: Dispensing with Risk Silos COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE

18 What would drive private sector demand for critical infrastructure protection? To what extent Is operational risk management the flip side of CIP? Why Do the Markets Undervalue Risk? Why are there limited incentives from the market-makers for managing risk effectively – ratings, audit and insurance industries? What information do the markets need to assess and compare risk management practices? What Should Government Do to Strengthen the Rewards for Effective Risk Management? Carrots or Sticks? SEC Disclosure for Material Risk? Sarbox? Things to Think About for Policymakers

19 COUNCIL ON COMPETITIVENESS: ENTERPRISE RESILIENCE This Field is Becoming a Tower of Babel Folks are are using words like resilience, protection, disaster management, business continuity and security almost interchangeably. As a result, we’re talking past each other and the conversation has lost meaning. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you call this -- Risk Intelligence, Resilience, Security or just superior business governance -- we need to develop common definitions about the desired outcome, common understandings about best practices, standards and metrics – and public policies that support these ends.
