This episode recaps the keynote address given by John A. Wheeler, founder and CEO of Wheelhouse Advisors, at the Riskonnect Annual User Conference in October 2024. The address focused on the need for organizations to transition from traditional risk management approaches to a more integrated and forward-looking model known as Integrated Risk Management (IRM). Wheeler argues that the rapid pace of change and increased interconnectedness of risks require organizations to become more proactive and adaptable, just as a self-driving car navigates a complex environment. He introduced the IRM Navigator™ framework, which outlines four key components: goals, processes, assets, and policies, and emphasizes the importance of aligning these components to ensure that risk management becomes a strategic enabler, rather than a reactive function. Wheeler concludes by highlighting the future of risk management, which he envisions as being driven by artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.

The KPMG Future of Risk report highlights the increasing need for Integrated Risk Management (IRM) as companies face a growing number of complex and interconnected risks. The report states that 68% of companies believe integrating risk management systems enhances decision-making, and 90% have accelerated their risk transformation efforts. The Wheelhouse Advisors IRM Navigator™ framework addresses this need by connecting different risk management disciplines such as Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Operational Risk Management (ORM), Technology Risk Management (TRM), and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). The framework emphasizes the interconnected nature of risk and utilizes AI and generative AI to automate and enhance risk management processes. By integrating these technologies, companies can break down silos, improve visibility, and respond more effectively to emerging threats.
