If risk management is about helping manage the effect of uncertainty on achieving objectives, why do organizations often ignore strategic objective and risks, and instead focus on lower level operational, financial, legal, or project risks? The answer is that most organizations don't know how to translate or quantify strategic objectives into risks – and those in risk management don't understand the strategic objectives.

The upshot is that the biggest risks in most organization are the strategic risks that are routinely ignored. In this session, Jason Mefford, an expert in internal audit, risk management, and compliance, will offer practical advice on how to determine your organization's strategic objectives, translate those to risks, and estimate the impact of your strategic risks.
