GENERAL SESSION

Creative Risk Mitigation – Optimizing Decisions & Managing Judgement Risk


Poor decisions and reckless risk taking have cost the global economy trillions in losses and led to an unprecedented number of bankruptcies, home foreclosures and job losses. "Judgment risk" is an area of risk management that is often neglected and one that most organizations would prefer to ignore.  Looking at human decision making. our speaker will discuss

o Judgment biases and the key risk factors in the decision making process

o The role risk appetite plays in catastrophic loss

o Strategies to help mitigate judgment risk

 

Research shows that everybody, even the best managers and executives, are susceptible to judgment biases. In most cases we do not even realize they exist. Like having spinach in your teeth, you don't know it's there until someone points it out or you see it yourself in the mirror.

As a result of attending the presentation, you will learn how to:

·         Improve capabilities in strategic planning and implementation

·         Think objectively when weighing options

·         Identify judgment biases in your own decision making and in others

·         Think twice before repeating the same mistakes over and over again

2.  Demand Deposit Risk Management:  The Next Magnificent Opportunity

When bankers discuss risk management in the DDA space, the conversation usually turns to branch security, major catastrophe recovery, forged checks, employee theft and other fraud prevention. As well, most lending managers view the branch network only as a channel for acquiring new loan/credit customers.

 

Yet the application of even the most basic lending risk management techniques to the DDA space—that is, in the evaluation of a checking account applicant or account holder—can have a profound impact on both profitability and customer loyalty. In the face of a changing economy and tougher regulatory/legislative scrutiny, DDA risk has become more important than ever before. Losses in the DDA space can no longer be considered simply the cost of doing business.

 

In this session, we will present a framework for approaching DDA risk management with analytical rigor. The discussion will cover risk management best practices across the lifecycle of the DDA account, as well as a case study discussion demonstrating the power of traditional lending risk management approaches when applied to the DDA space.
