The complexity of today´s risk environment is changing at an accelerating pace, making risk management even more challenging. We address these challenges by highlighting underlying systemic transformations and their implications for future risk and insurance management in various sectors.
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
