Why ERM Advantage?

We are more than just a content and consulting company. Much more. 

ERM Advantage is a risk management framework that is far superior to any other in the marketplace.

One built on years of hands-on experience, designed to address the most common problems and flaws of traditional frameworks, flaws which consistently lead to frustration and minimal return on investment.

Common Challenges

Virtually every risk framework in use today suffers from the same problems, they are built on a flawed foundation, which leads to the same problems over and over again.

     ⚠ Programs with a lot of busy work, that take years to build, but with very little meaningful results

     ⚠ Overfocused on operational risks and controls, completely overlooking the risks that can actually kill a company

     ⚠ Generally only tells you what you already know, very little discovery of new information

     ⚠ Often promotes ambiguity between the three lines of defense

     ⚠ Uninformed leadership or line of business owners that “tolerate” rather than embrace the program

      ⚠ Most critically, programs that don’t help the organization make better business decisions!

We’re here to fix all that! 

The ERM Advantage Framework Ten Design Principles

  1. Wherever possible, grounded in the language of the business, not confusing risk language
  2. Aligned with how the business actually works, not how risk consultants think it should work
  3. Scalable to any size organization
  4. Built to help discover what you don’t know, and challenge what you think you know
  5. Simplified vs traditional frameworks, but producing significantly better information
  6. Conclusions that are objectively supported, no more “thumb-in-the-air” statements, ratings, etc.
  7. Structured so that information can ultimately be imported directly into a GRC solution
  8. Addresses all risks, starting from strategy through execution, not just operational risks
  9. Built to support increased awareness and accountability
  10. Most importantly, helps leadership make better business decisions!

The following outlines just some some of the key differentiating elements of this framework. This assumes a foundation of a strong risk management policy and program, governance elements, etc.

Each of these components is supported by comprehensive templates, all featured in the ERM Advantage training videos and available to use in your program. You can find the library of content here, and the available templates here.
