The COVID-19 outbreak is impacting all businesses globally. It’s impacting staff, contractors, and staffing levels; it’s impacting the supply chain; and it’s impacting processes. Despite companies having crisis management and business continuity plans, current decision-making tools and dashboards are not adequate for dealing with COVID-19-related decision-making given the geographic scale of the disruption. Established risk management methodologies and approaches tend to be static in nature and lead to models that are backward-looking. Many individuals at the senior management level now believe that these frameworks are just not up to the task — and in a number of cases this was demonstrated through the COVID-19 crisis.

New risk models — ones that look ahead by utilizing AI and machine learning, and that can be continually updated as more data becomes available — will enable organizations to truly understand and rapidly respond to the changing business landscape. It’s organizations that embrace these new tools that will return to “normal operations” at just the right time and with the right resources.

Now is the time for risk managers to focus on real-time analytics and proactive loss prevention, rather than administering risk systems related to operational processes. In Part 1: Forward-Looking Risk: Enabling the Anti-Fragile Organization in the New Normal, recorded on May 7, 2020, Tom Teixeira and Craig Wylie reveal:

• What senior management wants from risk management: an overview of the dynamic ‘sense, feel and respond’ approach to risk management
• A methodology overview: cause and effects analysis, correlation, definition and monitoring of Key Risk Indicators
• Why we need to consider AI and ML approaches and supporting technology/digital platforms
• Case study: how one organization is benefitting from an AI/ML approach to get back to work amid the COVID-19 pandemic
