A context for risk

n The goal of ERM is to effectively manage risks facing the
     organization. Returning to the portfolio concept, enterprise risk
     managers should be focused on the business of effectively
     managing risk and return. Within the portfolio, "return" is
     relatively straightforward and easily understood. It has a
     common, shared context. Expected return is the weighted sum
     of the expected returns of the individual investments. Risk is
     not so easily understood. Depending on the circumstances, the
     policies may or may not appear to be "risky."

n Risk Management is not new. The concept has been around
     in investment, banking, insurance, artificial intelligence, and
     public policy processes, for example.
