Organizations that provide financial services, such as banks, insurers, brokerages, credit card companies, etc., have relied heavily on risk analytics in the past. However, firms in all industries can adopt suitable risk mitigation methods provided risk is identified and measured.
Any corporation may benefit from identifying and quantifying risk, whether it be transaction fraud for a credit card company, mortgage default risk, project delay risk, patient readmission risk, premiums for insurers, etc.
By connecting together the risks that are present across the firm, a leader may gain a comprehensive understanding that will aid in making strategic decisions at various levels that take into account pertinent risk.
