T y p hi rs e d a e L What How Why pi c al • The “Why” for ERM itself is clear a p p r o a c • But in what we actually do; approaches: ➢ A lot of “what” ➢ Some “How” ➢ Not much “Why” h • So what? ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ Communication Appetites Understanding Confusing Capital and ERM http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action?language=en Risk Classification What How Why Name or classify risks Using the source of the risk Simple? Historic?

Practical uses: • Discussing and distilling Board Risk Appetite • Understanding and explaining to others • Constructing overall RMF • Using the risk traits to consider effective mix of processes, culture, controls, “safety nets” and mitigants Risk Classification Internal Entity Specific lu a V d A e Universe of Risks dd A lue a nV Systemic o N External d Measuring Op Risk Stochastic Models What Measure op risk How Stochastic Models Qualitative Model Why Calculate capital charge?
