How Risk Aversion Can Hurt Your Organization

While we know we must take risks to generate returns, some programs fail to remind managers that ERM is as much about taking risks in pursuit of value as it is about risk avoidance or mitigation. Sometimes too much attention is focused on risk avoidance, which may cause some organizations to squander reasonable opportunities to grow and achieve enterprise objectives. A McKinsey & Company article explains how an overabundance of risk-averse management behavior can actually inhibit a firm from progressing at its full potential. The article outlines behavioral biases that create this risk-avoidance phenomenon among managers and offers guidelines that can help companies mitigate these behavioral biases, thus improving risk management and business performance.
