Unlocking opportunity in a world of interconnected risks

Effectively managing new and complex risks that are reshaping global markets is one of the greatest challenges facing corporations, financial institutions and governments today. Geopolitical risks are fuelling economic instability and have impacted energy and food security. At the same time, tariffs and evolving trade partners and patterns are altering international dynamics, while climate events are forcing manufacturers to reconsider where to locate factories and for retailers to evaluate their overall sourcing mix. The list of risks goes on, making the landscape dramatically complicated and threatening.

Fragmented data and siloed views of risk within an organisation hamper the ability to anticipate hazards, identify trends and act quickly. The sheer number of risks that exist now and how they interconnect requires a holistic approach to risk management to fully understand potential exposure.

This report highlights today’s multidimensional and complex environment, and the need to leverage multiple sources of data and insight to gain a broad perspective on risks, their linkages and the ripple effects.
