Risk Maturity Model Explained – Overview

Getting the initial commitment for ERM is half the battle for a Risk Manager, and then meeting expectations with concrete results can be just as daunting a challenge.

The Risk Maturity Model (RMM) allows you to score your organization’s risk management program, prioritize what areas need the most improvement, and achieve your business goals in half the time.

What is it?  The Risk Maturity Model is a proven framework for enterprise risk management (ERM) that guides risk managers through the process of building a successful risk management program.  It takes the problem of advancing your ERM effectiveness and breaks it into manageable, practical milestones for every step of risk maturity.

How does it work?  The RMM allows you to compare your ERM program to industry best practices and highlights your strengths and weaknesses.  You can then prioritize your resources to the most impactful actions.  This creates a repeatable and sustainable ERM program that helps our customers achieve their goals in half the time they expect.
