Five Key Tips for Your Not-For-Profit Organization's ERM Process

As more and more not-for-profit organizations are appreciating the importance and value of an enterprise risk management (ERM) process, many are asking how to best implement one.

While there are many contributing factors to a successful ERM process, the following are five key steps to implementing and/or improving your organization's process, each correlating to one of The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework components:

1. DEVELOP A FORMAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Having a defined structure in place for your organization's ERM process will help to formalize a process that may seem elusive, and encourage buy-in from all stakeholders involved in the structure. A common element in this structure is a central risk management officer and/or risk management committee who facilitates progress throughout the ERM framework components and reports to the appropriate stakeholders.

2. OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES ARE AT THE CORE OF ERM
Before an organization can begin identifying and prioritizing its risk portfolio, it must first define the objectives and strategies that the risks may be impeding. Objectives should be at the organizational, departmental, and/or process level and can be defined in qualitative and/or quantitative terms. The objectives should align with the organization's mission, values, and risk appetite, which is also defined in the ERM process.

3. CONSIDER VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES WHEN IDENTIFYING
AND PRIORITIZING RISK
Be sure to consider various sources and types of risk that could impact your organization's path to achieving objectives. Risks may result from both internal and external factors, and can be operational, financial, strategic, regulatory, and, most importantly for most not-for-profit organizations, reputational in nature. While boards are ultimately charged with risk oversight, we believe risks can be delegated and "owned" by different stakeholders in an organization to optimize effectiveness and efficiency.

4. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROCESS
Some of the risks, mitigating processes and controls, along with the prioritization assessed as part of ERM will be ever-changing. Therefore, the ERM process should continuously stay up to date with these changes. The risk management officer or committee can be charged with ensuring that both internal and external changes are considered and that all other stakeholders in the ERM structure are involved in continuously keeping updated.

5. THE VALUE OF THE ERM PROCESS IS ACHIEVED ONLY AFTER IT IS WOVEN INTO THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
As is emphasized in the 2017 COSO ERM Framework, risk-driven performance management, not just risk monitoring, is what will enhance value. Organizations can drive value by incorporating the risks assessed and prioritized and key performance indicators into operational and strategic decision-making.

Specific organizations and industries are at varying levels of ERM implementation and sophistication; ERM is not a one-size-fits-all process.

As is consistently my experience, our Chamber meetings are jammed packed with exceptional opportunities to learn. A recent example came in our dynamic August 1st, CCSNJ "Committed to Camden" Meeting, when Dee C. Marshall provided a truckload of wonderful networking tips and a glimpse of a system that has grown her consulting business exponentially. Of the many interesting and pragmatic tips Dee shared, I'd offer first her phrase, "Networking for the Win" and list your 5 tips for relationship management. 
  1. Diversify your network purposely (gender, race, ethnicity, age geography)
  2. Create a WMOA plan for your networking; that is one with weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual focus
  3. Establish a nurture sequence. As yourself, what three meaningful connections will I make at this next meeting I will attend? Note: CCSNJ provides a list of attendees at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. A definite bonus for all CCSNJ meetings in which you are pre-registered.
  4. Create YOUR Fortune 50 list
  5. Send "snail mail" correspondences. Receiving the letter or the personalized card has a high value and tremendous impact.

CCSNJ members will receive a 20% discount on all track rentals or 10% discount on all per person packages. Group size must be 6 people or more and the event must be booked in advance with Robert Andrey, Director of Corporate & Special Events.
