Enterprise Risk Management

In a rapidly changing and challenging world organizations continually strive to improve business performance and capture market advantage. Business must anticipate and plan for the future and build in resilience to deal with unexpected events. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) provides a powerful tool to help businesses gain insight into future operating environments. It provides a rigorous process through which organizations can anticipate and manage all of the risks facing a company on a consistent basis, and seize opportunities where they would have greatest impact on the delivery of business objectives.

LeighFisher recognizes the interdependence that exists between financial and technical issues that drive businesses forward. By combining business risk management expertise with technical excellence, LeighFisher can help our clients’ businesses to prosper and succeed in an ever changing global economy.

ERM is a process by which the total risk to a business may be identified, prioritized, and managed. Within this process our focus is on our core competencies including the management of technical and capital investment risk, and strategic risk.

Businesses depend on uninterrupted performance of their capital assets, production facilities and infrastructure to accomplish business success. Improving asset protection, reducing environmental liabilities, and responding to climate change and sustainability issues are key aspects of business planning. The selection of appropriate technologies, investment strategies, and implementation plans for the provision, operation and maintenance of capital assets form a significant component in the business planning cycle.

These areas are central to our approach on ERM. Effective treatment of technical risks and capital investment risks associated with an organization’s physical infrastructure within a strategic framework is essential for maintaining business continuity.
