A smart digital workflow is critical to data accessibility, especially as the global economy slowly recovers from the pandemic. To prepare for the next crisis, a consistent supply of mission-critical data is top of mind for many businesses.
“The reality is, there’s always going to be another crisis,” says Vasant Balasubramanian, general manager of ServiceNow’s risk business unit. Balasubramanian and his team ensure clients have the necessary tools to manage risk and maintain resiliency when dealing with various issues across the organization.
In a recent Forbes article, Balasubramanian was asked what advice he would give an executive who is eager to build a world-class risk management strategy but doesn’t have the systems in place to do so.
- Start small – Start with something relevant that you know you can fix. Don’t try to boil the ocean
- Reach out to your stakeholders – Unless you are the CFO or the COO, you are unlikely the sole and single owner for all of the risks in the organization.
- Use technology – Technology itself isn’t the answer, but a solid technology platform is. A solid technology platform that connects day-to-day work will help embed risk management across the enterprise.
- Understand what “risk” means – Risk can hold a variety of different meanings. There’s financial risk, reputational risk, competitive risk, and more.
Staying resilient during and after a crisis is critical, and it’s important to identify how technology can help make this possible.
