Topic Background:

The ORM Maturity Model attempts to be a road map to excellence and paints a vision of ORM practice maturity. The main goal should be to “keep businesses focused on achieving their goals in line with risk appetite.” This approach can transform ORM into a powerful and sought after force.

Most institutions have struggled with an attractive ORM vision which would encourage business buy-in. This has resulted in frequent questioning of ORM’s value proposition, which ORM has struggled to define. In addition, regulators have been challenged to set realistic and consistent guidance that can position ORM to be a valuable organizational entity.
