It is ironic that BT, a company that was considered by many to be a leader in risk management and in innovative derivative products, lost so much of its reputation as a result of operational risk (in this case, sales practices). 企业风险管理程序必须平衡风险管理的“硬件”(包括政策,限制和系统)和软件(包括人,文化和激励机制)。 信浮公司,被许多人认为是一个领导者在风险管理和衍生产品创新的公司,这是具有讽刺意味的是,由于操作风险(在这种情况下,销售手法),失去了如此多的声誉。 Honesty is always the best policy 诚实永远是上策 Reputational risk management suggests that in a time of crisis, management should focus on integrity and openness in dealing with customer complaints and public perception: if the allegations brought by P&G had any basis in reality, Bankers Trust did an inadequate job in resolving them. 声誉风险管理建议,在危机时刻,管理应该集中在处理顾客投诉和公众的看法完整性和开放性:如果在现实中宝洁公司带来的指控有任何依据,美国信孚银行确实在解决这些事情做的不恰当。 Align incentives properly Performance pressure may encourage participation in deals that ultimately backfire, especially if incentives and oversight are not aligned properly. Despite the urgency of the rush to sell a deal or gain a client, proper thought needs to be given to the long-term wisdom of all aspects of the deal. 正确地激励 业绩压力可能会鼓励参与最终事与愿违的交易,激励和监督,特别是如果没有正确对齐。虽然急于出售一笔交易或获得一位客户,必须在交易各方面的长期智慧提供正确的思想。 Practice good stakeholder management 养成良好的利益相关者管理 Clients are stakeholders, too! In the rush to create profits for shareholders, attention must still be given to the clients who are integral to the business. 客户也是利益相关者!在急于为股东创造利润,还必须注意对于业务方面客户是不可或缺一部分。 About BancWare ERisk BancWare ERisk is a leading provider of integrated software and consulting solutions that enable financial organizations to enh ance their performance through better risk and capital management.
