General Insurance Leader at PwC UKSurvival of the fittest. Dog eat dog. It’s a jungle out there. The language of business borrows heavily from the natural world, but what can we learn from nature when it comes to managing risk?
From climate change to the threat of cyber attack, businesses are dealing with increasingly complex and varied risks. In the face of constant disruption, organisations must learn to adapt and evolve to changes in the environment in which they operate, staying agile and developing new ways to thrive. Animals have been doing this for millions of years.
Whether organisms or organisations, nothing or nobody can afford to stand still in a rapidly changing environment. If they are to thrive, they must embrace - and rethink - risk, but in a managed way.
“Risk surrounds us and needs to be managed and mitigated, not simply avoided or feared, in order to create opportunities, because that's the only way you're going to grow. The question is how much risk are you willing to bear? You don't want to take on so much that you would put yourself as an entire organisation at risk.”
Mohammad Khan, General Insurance Leader at PwC UK
