Risk Management

Building risk resilience is crucial in today’s rapidly evolving, interconnected landscape.

Understanding and Quantifying Your Risks

Organisations are being forced to navigate an increasing number of evolving and interconnected risks and to make constant decisions that have significant impacts on their balance sheets and earnings volatility. With so much uncertainty in the global economy and black swan events increasing in frequency, understanding the potential financial impact of risks and developing formal risk management and financing programmes is crucial to protect and grow your business.

At Aon, we provide specialist advice and analytics to help clients understand and quantify their specific risks, make better risk mitigation, retention and transfer decisions, and ensure business continuity through post-loss consulting. Organisations’ total cost of risk typically equates to as much as 3.5 per cent of total revenue,1 and potentially multiples in terms of impact on intangible assets and operational resilience. Finding a balance among mitigation, retention and transfer is key to optimising performance and navigating volatility.

Alongside our Aon New Zealand risk management consultants, we have a 1,500-person-strong global team focused on improving the total cost of risk, managing volatility and protecting clients’ balance sheets. We develop comprehensive and bespoke risk management and financing programmes using our proprietary data and solutions, such as Aon’s protected cell facilities, to help clients address difficult-to-insure or emerging risks like cyber and intellectual property (IP). Unique to the industry, we are able to draw on specialists across the full breadth of our firm, from climate and supply chain to reinsurance brokers, to develop genuinely innovative solutions that meet our clients’ specific needs.

The risk landscape is always changing. But at Aon, we give clients the clarity and confidence to make more informed risk mitigation, retention and transfer decisions – helping them to protect and grow their businesses.
