The Role of Risk Leadership in Defining ERM Readiness in Government

Government orga­nizations must tackle risk and uncertainty in a more systematic and enterprise manner. The authors of this new report, Peter Young and Trang Hoang, provide timely and insightful perspectives that underscore the connection between lead­ership actions that support government risk management and successful efforts to implement enterprise risk management (ERM). The report explores two dis­tinct concepts—risk leadership and ERM readiness.
