CFO Series: Analyzing 6 Systemic Risks That Cause Havoc(pt2)

Overview

The unexpected is now to be expected; leaders are given additional roles, new responsibilities, and expectations. We are expected to mitigate risks that we can’t possibly control. In part two of this series, we will cover three more systemic risks; evolving consumer behavior, demographic and workforce challenges, and the accelerating impact of technology and data. People and technology intersect more and more in today’s economy, and these trends carry inherent risks that need to be considered and mitigated. By connecting these systemic risks, we provide a practical framework for thinking strategically, asking better questions, and positioning organizations to not only survive change, but capitalize on it.
