HORIZON Risk Thought >> Fast Forward

Die Komplexität der heutigen Risikolandschaft verändert sich immer schneller, was das Risikomanagement noch schwieriger macht. Wir gehen diese Herausforderungen an, indem wir grundlegende systemische Transformationen und ihre Auswirkungen auf das zukünftige Risiko- und Versicherungsmanagement in verschiedenen Sektoren beleuchten.

Im Kontext des Risikomanagements dieser systemischen Transformationen haben wir „Risk Changer“ klassifiziert, die sich direkt auf Unternehmen auswirken. Wir verwenden dafür folgende Begriffe:

  • „Environment in Danger“ für ökologische,
  • „Beyond Globalisation“ für geopolitische,
  • „Digital Transition“ für technologische und
  • „Social Disruption“ für soziale Transformationen.
Unter dem Titel „Social Disruption“ konzentriert sich HORIZON dieses Mal auf den sozialen Wandel und beleuchtet alle damit verbundenen Herausforderungen für die Geschäftswelt. In dieser Ausgabe erkunden wir das Zeitalter des Menschen und seinen Einfluss auf unsere zukünftigen Arbeitsumgebungen. Wir untersuchen, wie unser Verhalten die Risikolandschaft prägt.

In the risk management context of these systemic transformations, we classified these “risk changers” that directly affect a company and use the terms:

  • “Environment in danger” for ecological,
  • “Beyond globalisation” for geopolitical,
  • “Digital transition” for technological and
  • “Social disruption” for social transformation.

We have created Horizon, firstly as a print publication and now as a platform for sharing the latest insights about ongoing transformations. Our risk specialists will continue to provide their expertise and knowledge to shine a light on the challenges of the future.

Wir haben HORIZON ins Leben gerufen, um die neuesten Erkenntnisse über aktuelle Veränderungen zu teilen.
