CEOs have to understand and cope with an increasingly unpredictable and fast-changing array of risks. Concerns over
environmental degradation, the disruption caused by new technologies and increasing geopolitical tensions are creating
new levels of uncertainty for leaders as they look to meet or exceed their growth targets.
To lead an appropriate and strategic response, chief executives need to understand how risks are connected and
ensure their boards and leadership teams are engaged. For James Bracken, CEO of Fortitude Re — a re-insurer — it
also means that leaders must embrace and understand what are highly complex, multi-dimensional issues. ”A key
focus for me is the evolving regulatory and policy landscape,” he explains. “It’s a really difficult thing to get your arms
around because, at the end of the day, it changes. I think the ability to navigate these issues over longer term — that
5-year plus time horizon is extremely challenging.”
In 2019, environmental and climate change tops the risk agenda, climbing from its fourth-placed position in 2018. This is closely followed by disruptive technology risk and the threats posed by a return to territorialism. A key focus for me is the evolving regulatory and policy landscape. It's a really difficult thing to get your arms around because, at the end of the day, it changes. James Bracken CEO
