Have you taken the IRM Risk Agenda 2025 Survey yet?

Take the survey here.

The risk landscape and expectations on risk departments have changed beyond recognition over the past ten years. Rapid globalisation, spreading communication networks, the pandemic, recession, global tension, and technological and demographic changes have added layers of complexity to the risks organisations face, and the speed at which those risks can arise.

Until now there has been little comprehensive research or debate on what might be expected of risk management in the future. As part  of IRM’s 30th anniversary celebrations we conducted a major project to investigate what risk management could look like in 2025. This survey is part of that project and the results will help the IRM to frame the future and prepare members for some of the challenges that lie ahead.

Your participation is very valuable to us and we thank you for your time. This survey should take around 10 – 15 minutes to complete, and there is space at the end for any additional comments you would like to make.

We are reissuing the survey with the intention of providing a benchmark/comparative report to see what has changed since the initial findings.
