Project Name:	Enabling the Business through Effective Risk Management
Executive Sponsor:	Lisa Hodkinson, VP, Information Risk Management
Project Team:	Chris Hayes , Mike Conover, Mike Mahaffey, Travis Michalak, Cherise Wise, Kristin Lowery, Mathews Thomas
Description:	This program established the framework, process and tools to identify and prioritize the top IT risks for the organization and the information needed for business leaders to decide which risks they should mitigate now, mitigate later or reasonably assume. The framework gained inputs from business objectives, current IT risks, industry trends and broader IT risk landscape to prioritize the top risks and build a multi-year roadmap for IT risk management initiatives. We applied the learning and methods followed in our (insurance and financial services) industry to build tools and processes to assign dollar values for “loss exposures” and then aggregated them to show total loss exposure and “earnings at risk” to help business leaders prioritize the risks to mitigate.
