KPMG

A number of years ago I met one of my favorite ERM friends - Jennie Wallin. She had just moved back to Gothenburg from Hong Kong and was an expert in ERM implementation after her many years in advisory at KPMG. We met at a Swedish Institute for Quality (SIQ) meeting and have been ERM buddies ever since. She has been an important part of my ERM network and a great help in the ERM events that we’ve held at the Centre for Finance, in cooperation with SKF, Volvo AB, and KPMG, here in Gothenburg. Despite her busy schedule, she has taken the time to guest lecture in my ERM course the last two years. This year however, I had two new guest lecturers from KPMG taking over for Jennie. My former students - Mattias Svensson and Sara Dadallahi. I’m so stoked that they were interested in ERM and are pursuing careers in the area, and they are super lucky to be working with Jennie.

They workshopped risk universe and bowtie models with the students. The students got the chance to see some new parameters that can be important for assessing risk in a firm (I can’t give away any KPMG secrets) and dig into the root causes and consequences of different risks.

Now let’s see how the students do using these tools on their Tesla assignment - more on this later.
