In working with emerging technology firms, we identified three top concerns about risk management. They include:
- Control Costs and Reduce Risks
- “We need to significantly reduce the overall cost of risk to our organization.
We seek total solutions for our unique exposures, not just the purchase of an insurance product.”
- Support Rapid Business Change
- “It is critical for us to ensure that our broker is doing a good job and helping us adapt to our changing business needs.”
- Improve Service Levels and Provide Specialized Services
- “We need tools, services and advice to help us establish a solid risk management foundation. We look for a risk consultant that offers industry knowledge, tools and capabilities to guide our organization as we grow from early stage to maturity.”

Why is Managing Risk at an Early Stage so Important?
- Management's challenge is to integrate all its relevant information about risk and communicate that information to investors consistently.
- Shareholders demand that management adequately identify all material risks facing the organization.
- Auditing protocols are beginning to require organizations to report risks in a forward-looking context.
- SEC guidelines are strengthening risk disclosure requirements.
- Firms are increasingly being held accountable for managing their risks on a portfolio basis.
- Failure to anticipate and analyze risk increasingly results in litigation.
