Chief executives and risk managers see eye-to-eye on necessary risk-professional skill sets—but gaps remain between how the two view the role of risk managers, according to the ninth annual Excellence in Risk Management survey from insurance broker Marsh and the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
Brian Elowe, a managing director in Marsh's global risk-management division, says company executives “want the risk manager to dive into that gap” rather than “wait to be asked to step in and fill the gap.”
Nowell Seaman, manager of risk management and insurance at the University of Saskatchewan and a member of the RIMS board of directors, notes that some risk managers “want to take the initiative but need to know how to do it.”
