Enterprise Risk Management Helps Companies Navigate Geopolitical Risks

by Giezel Garcia
07/29/2024
in Risk Management

The increasing frequency and intensity of geopolitical risks, such as political instability, economic sanctions, and policy uncertainties, are having significant impacts on businesses worldwide. As these risks continue to evolve, companies must adopt more advanced and proactive methods to address them, and enterprise risk management (ERM) provides a comprehensive framework for doing so.

A recent annual Political Risk Survey, conducted by Oxford Analytica for WTW, examines current global political risks and how companies are responding. The survey highlights key political risks for 2024, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the potential for political instability from upcoming elections in various countries, and tensions between the US and China that could affect global trade. Other concerns include fluctuating climate policies, instability in the Middle East, and the rise of non-traditional conflicts such as cyber-attacks and economic coercion.

Traditionally, businesses have taken a reactive approach to geopolitical risks, addressing immediate threats without considering long-term strategic consequences. However, experts like Simon Coote, director of enterprise risk consulting at WTW, warn that this approach is no longer sufficient. The complexity and unpredictability of the modern geopolitical landscape require a more proactive and coordinated risk management strategy.

ERM provides a framework for integrating risk management across all levels of an organization. By focusing on the identification, assessment, and management of all types of risks from a unified perspective, ERM allows businesses to adapt more effectively to geopolitical uncertainties. Unlike traditional approaches that often operate in silos, ERM ensures that all business functions are aligned and working together to address potential threats.

ERM frameworks typically include several components that help companies manage geopolitical risks. These include identifying risks across the entire organization, not just within specific departments, and quantifying and prioritizing those risks based on their potential impact. ERM also supports the development of proactive mitigation strategies, such as diversifying supply chains, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preparing contingency plans for political disruptions.

The 2024 Political Risk Survey revealed that many organizations are adopting ERM strategies to address geopolitical challenges. For example, companies are using scenario planning to anticipate political instability and forming cross-functional teams to monitor and respond to emerging risks. These teams, which bring together diverse perspectives, help organizations assess and respond to political developments more effectively. Additionally, many companies are leveraging advanced analytics and intelligence services to stay informed about geopolitical trends and adjust their strategies as needed.

The survey also found that 60% of companies have enhanced their corporate processes to manage political risks, incorporating political risk assessments into their strategic planning and ERM frameworks. Coote emphasized the importance of moving away from a reactive approach and adopting proactive ERM strategies to safeguard business interests and ensure long-term growth.

As geopolitical risks continue to evolve, ERM offers companies the tools they need to navigate uncertainties and maintain resilience in a rapidly changing global environment.
