The paper presents a holistic risk management framework based on the core corporate governance principles and best-practice technology for addressing the global NIHL (noise-induced hearing loss) pandemic. While some await the announcement of a pharmaceutical drug therapy for hearing loss treatment and prevention, the challenges of noise control continue. Although preventable, the scenario remains tragic in terms of the statistics provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO). NIHL is among the most critical global health risks in terms of productivity, compensation statistics and noise-related deaths every year. Prevention of hearing loss remains the biggest challenge regardless of the availability of modern technology and best practice hearing conservation programmes (HCPs). An explorative research methodology was used to indicate a framework combining best practice with a diligent (bold) corporate and holistic approach to the NIHL problem. In essence, the paper therefore provides a thorough background to the global NIHL pandemic and presents a holistic risk management framework to address the problem

Purpose: The application of holistic risk management is fast becoming a standard measure of good governance in the business arena. What role can holistic risk management play in the management of risk in the financial services industry? The aim of this paper is to propose a holistic risk management framework for the management of risk. Design/Methodology/Approach: A comprehensive framework that covers the holistic view risk management is proposed/developed out of an extensive literature review. Findings: Given the deliberations of various frameworks, a holistic risk management is proposed. The proposed framework ensures that all components of risk management are taken into account when strategizing for risk management in general and holistic risk management in particular; thereby improving the management of risk in the banking industry. Implications: The article proposes a holistic approach to risk management which takes into account all the facets of risk management, e.g. analyzing, planning, strategy, communication, implementation, motivation, systems review and plan modification. This holistic approach, when implemented in the banking industry, can have a significant impact on the improved management of risk. Originality/Value: The new proposed holistic risk management framework offers a fresh perspective of strategizing for risk management in terms of risk analysis, risk planning, risk strategy, risk communication, risk implementation, risk motivation, risk review and risk plan modification.

This article assesses the status ofoperational risk management of banks in developing markets in the context ofBasel II. The aim of the article is to determine the extent to which riskmanagement staff is prepared to implement a risk management framework in linewith international best practice. An African commercial bank was examined usingsurvey data collected in July 2010 from 22 employees. The data were analysedusing descriptive statistics. Results obtained indicate knowledge gaps incollecting risk data and the application of risk models as limitations to theimplementation of the framework. The results support the commitment of moretime and financial resources in up-skilling staff if banks in developing marketsare to comply with regulatory requirements as recommended by the Basel Accord.

ITIL is considered a framework of Best Practice guidance for IT Service Management, and it is widely used in the business world. In spite of this, ITIL has some gaps in Risk Management specification. This chapter approaches this problem in ITIL and compares IT risk management in ITIL to other IT Governance Frameworks. Despite ITIL stating that risk should be identified, measured, and mitigated, it is not clear on how to proceed (no concrete process is defined on how to deal with risk). To solve this, the authors propose to map the M_o_R risk management framework in ITIL, mapping every M_o_R process in ITIL, therefore adopting a strong risk management in ITIL, based on concrete guidelines, without changing the framework. In this chapter, the authors summarize the necessary guidelines and show a planning for future work.

Abstract Severe consequences of the global fi nancial crisis resulted in re-thinking the risk management processes and approaches, highlighting the need for a comprehensive risk management framework. Consequently, more and more companies are moving away from the Traditional “silo-based” Risk Management (TRM) to a more holistic approach known as Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This paper presents results of both exploratory and empirical research. First, we develop ERM Index that measures maturity of ERM process within the company. Then, we present empirical results on the level of maturity and determinants of risk management system development in listed Croatian companies. Research indicates low levels of ERM development: even 38 per cent of analysed companies have no elements of ERM system, from which 22 per cent do not manage corporate risks at all. Except the company’s size supported by the economies of scale argument, managers’ support is the most important determinant of ERM system maturity in Croatian companies.

Project success depends on the ability to respond to risks and make correct decisions in a timely manner. The project approach provides a better framework for implementing a new management system into the company’s business processes. The risk management framework developed by the company comprises a risk management infrastructure, a set of standards, human resources, and a risk management information system. To improve staff compliance, it is necessary to provide training and to communicate the goals of the project effectively. It is also important to develop a motivation system because well trained and motivated staff are able to work more efficiently.
