I give you SiloNyx. A blog about nixing risk management silos and replacing them with enterprise risk management. And in case enterprise risk management isn’t sexy enough for you as is, and I think there are at least a few dozen out there who find it pretty sexy, we aren’t just going to nix silos but we are sending them to the Greek goddess or personification of the night, Nyx. Let’s turn the lights out on the old-fashioned approach to risk management, abandon silos, and implement more strategic, more integrated, and better governed enterprise risk management!
I’m Sara! I’m a Visiting Scholar at the University of Texas at Austin and part of their Center for Risk Management and Insurance. I’m also affiliated with the University of Gothenburg and their Centre for Finance. I developed and teach the master’s degree course on Enterprise Risk Management for their Accounting and Financial Management program, 2020 will be my third year teaching ERM at GU. I also have done executive education in ERM for companies like SKF and IKEA. I’ve organized an ERM networking and speaking event at GU 4 years in a row.
I wrote my PhD thesis on Enterprise Risk Management at Lund University and was awarded the Wallander fellowship in 2014. I have a few fairly well cited ERM publications, and I have a number of papers in the pipeline. If only I could channel the same energy I feel for this blog to my research, my co-authors would be happy.
