Adapting ERM Programs to Drive Sustainability (Invitation-Only)

This is event is by Invitation Only.

Please contact Emily Taylor at ETaylor@ourpublicservice.org if you have questions about the event. The targeted audience for this event is Chief Risk Officers and risk practitioners.

In less than five years, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the federal government has evolved from an activity done by a small number of agencies to a discipline supported by guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In 2017, the Association for Federal Enterprise Risk Management’s (AFERM) annual Federal ERM survey reported that 76% of respondents’ organizations have a formal ERM program. As organizations’ ERM capabilities become part of their organizations’ annual management activities, ERM leaders should adapt their programs’ activities to respond to new or persistent challenges. By overcoming those challenges, ERM leaders can show organizational leadership new and different ways ERM provides value to the organization and reinforce the need for an organizational commitment to ERM. The result can be a sustainable program that supports leadership in making risk-informed decisions.

During the session, participants should:

• Gain practical insights into different challenges facing ERM programs and how programs can adapt to overcome those challenges;
• Discuss leading practices and lessons learned with ERM leaders who have developed sustainable ERM programs; and
• Share opportunities, challenges, and strategies to adapting ERM programs to create sustainable programs that provide value to organizational leadership.

This is the fourth year of the Partnership in Public Service, in collaboration with Deloitte¹, leading an interagency dialogue about ERM. Through these working sessions, the Partnership aims to build a community of practice among ERM professionals, help federal leaders work together to maintain momentum for ERM efforts, and share approaches for using ERM to drive risk-informed decisions and strengthen other agency-wide management activities.

To encourage open dialogue, this event will be closed to the press.
