"https://robertkugel.isg-research.net/robert-kugel/2012/06/29/operational-risk-management-is-a-new-imperative", "datePublished": "29/06/2012", "dateModified": "29/06/2012", "articleBody": "Risk has always been an integral part of business, but our recent Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) benchmark research shows that companies deal with risk with varying degrees of effectiveness – especially operational risk. A majority of companies lag in their overall GRC maturity, as I covered in a recent blog post. Operational risk management should be of greater interest to executives today because they can have greater control of it than before. The expansion of IT systems to automate and support most business processes has made it easier than ever to measure, monitor and report on what’s going on in a company. It’s now practical to expand the scope of operational risk management and improve companies’ effectiveness in handling risk events when they occur. Our research shows that managing risk more effectively is the main reason why people want a better approach to GRC. Nearly eight out of 10 (77%) want to be able to identify and manage risks faster. Another 59 percent want to achieve a better risk control environment – for example, they want to ensure that rules and procedures are being followed. In many instances, it possible to use information technology to keep people from not following rules and policies. For example, there’s a long-standing approach to reducing financial fraud by having a policy for separation of duties that keeps people who approve invoices separate from those who sign checks or issue payment instructions. Because invoice approval and payment are done via computer systems today, the process can be designed to enforce separation of duties and to continuously monitor systems and process execution to ensure this policy is followed. Computing systems also can be used to stay on top of compliance to limit the chance that someone fails to do what they are supposed to do. Was a critical piece of maintenance performed on schedule? Has everyone who needed to sign off on a regulatory filing? Managing risk is an ongoing process that must be defined, refined and re-examined regularly. Managing risk effectively means having ongoing discussions about risk, usually face to face. But IT is a critical piece of effective risk management. Technology can automate many aspects of risk management – separation of duties and identity management are two examples. Reporting systems can be used to enable managers and executives to monitor operations more efficiently by reliably providing alerts but only doing so when some situation requires their attention. One analytic technique that’s applicable to managing operational risks is predictive analytics, a subject I’ve covered in the past. “Predictive” does not necessarily mean that you can foretell the future; rather, this approach sifts through a lot of data, tells you if some key aspect of the business is behaving the way it should and alerts someone if it isn’t. Do order patterns signal a problem? If you can spot the negative trend on the fifth business day of the month rather than in the monthly review, you may be able to address the causal factors before you have a big problem. Predictive analytics can inform managers that they will need to add shifts or workers to address some supply chain snag that has developed. Predictive analytics is a powerful tool that’s becoming increasingly accessible to many businesses. However, many companies face a fundamental issue: They don’t have the data. Our research shows a mixed picture. Participants were pretty much split on how easy it is to access and use the data necessary to measure and assess risk. About half (53%) took the middle ground, saying that is neither easy nor difficult. Of the remainder, 24 percent said it’s easy or very easy and 19 percent said it’s difficult. Companies are not completely ineffective in managing operational risks – only about one in five said they have ineffective operational risk controls for handling natural disaster, supply chain disruption, competitive threats, reputation loss, internal fraud and demand disruption. (I think this is because companies that have ineffective controls usually go out of business.) However, the data also shows that even fewer rate their risk controls as very effective. For example, only 15 percent assessed their controls for natural disasters as very effective, and just 12 percent rated their supply chain controls as very effective. The research shows that companies are least good at controlling the impact of demand disruption: More than one-fourth said their controls are ineffective while just 5 percent said they are very effective. Just 8 percent are very effective at controlling separation of duties and sources of internal fraud at an operational level. While most companies rate themselves somewhere in the middle, I think “very effective” ought to be the standard companies apply to their operational risk management. And the fact that a majority of organizations think they’re doing reasonably well in controlling operational risk is itself a risk. This sort of assessment typically leads to complacency and a lack of effort to improve operational risk management. Managing risk intelligently is one of the key capabilities of successful organizations because it can deliver a competitive edge. Companies that are good at managing risk can make aggressive moves more prudently, spot negative trends faster and respond more quickly and effectively when disaster strikes. IT continues to be one of the main sources of innovation in operational risk management. Executives and managers must become familiar with the technology if they want to manage risks as intelligently as they should.

I think advanced analytics – especially predictive analytics – should play a larger role in managing organizations. Making it easier to create and consume advanced analytics would help organizations broaden their integration in business planning and execution. This was one of the points that SPSS, an IBM subsidiary that provides analytics, addressed at IBM’s recent analyst summit. Predictive analytics are especially useful for anticipating trend divergences or spotting them earlier than one might otherwise. For example, sales may be up compared to a prior period, but is it simply month-to-month variability or the start of an upward trend? Better analytical techniques can help distinguish between normal variation and the beginning of a new trend. By using analytics, one might even discern that while the revenue numbers have been positive recently, the underlying data contains warning signs that point to diminishing volumes, lower prices or both in the future. Predictive analytic models are created using a top-down or a bottom-up approach, or some combination of the two. SPSS offers tools to handle both. The top-down approach involves creating a statistical hypothesis based on business observations or theories and then testing that hypothesis using statistical methods. IBM SPSS Statistics enables users to build a relevant picture from a sample, as well as test assumptions and hypotheses about that picture. A bottom-up approach unleashes automated data mining techniques on data sets (typically large ones) to distill statistically significant relationships from them. SPSS Modeler is designed for use by experienced data miners but also business analysts to speed the creation and refinement of predictive models. Often, companies employ both approaches iteratively to refine and improve models. I used to joke that the main value proposition of SPSS was that while its chief rival, SAS, required its users to have a Ph.D. in statistics, SPSS could be used by anyone with a master’s degree. Applying predictive analytics techniques is simple in concept but far from simple to integrate into day-to-day business beyond its traditional roles such as market research. This partly explains why so few companies have woven predictive analytics into their planning and review cycles. It’s possible to create relatively simple predictive models, but for many business issues, such models may be too simplistic to be useful. And they may not be reliable enough because they generate too many false positives (people spend too much time chasing non-issues) or false negatives (missing important developments or breaks in trends). Beyond the data and technology challenges posed by advanced analytics, there are significant people issues that companies must address to make their use practical. These can be more difficult to tackle than most business/IT issues because of the experience and skills that are needed that our benchmark in predictive analytics still finds lack of adequate resources. Automating general business processes, for instance, requires bringing together business subject-matter experts with people who understand IT. Advanced analytics, however, requires three sets of skills – business subject-matter expertise, IT and statistics – that are rarely found in any single individual. Communication among sets of individuals who have these skills often is difficult because they have a limited appreciation of the others’ domains and often have difficulty expressing the nuances of their own area of expertise. Today there’s greater focus than ever on analytics, partly because an explosion of available data has made it possible and even necessary to make sense of it. As part of IBM, SPSS has been benefitting from the parent’s “smarter planet” marketing theme. SPSS also has taken steps to expand demand for its tools by reducing the people barriers to adopting advanced analytics. One step has been to automate data preparation for use in Statistics and Modeler. Another is an automated modeler that takes several different approaches to analyze a set of data in a single run and then compares the results. Yet despite these steps, I expect advanced analytics to require specialized skills for many years. Therefore, I also expect adoption of advanced analytics to happen slowly. Most executives at the senior and even middle levels of corporations have limited familiarity with advanced analytics. Many may have had their last formal education with statistics as a required business school course. To spur broader adoption of predictive and other advanced analytics, IBM and others must foster a “pull” approach to marketing analytics. Business executives need to know that advanced analytics are available and of practical value, especially outside of traditional statistics-heavy realms such as consumer research and fraud detection. Sales planning, financial planning, enterprise risk management, maintenance and customer service are all areas ripe for use of predictive and other advanced analytics. We found all of these as future use of predictive analytics in our benchmark. It’s easy to convince analysts like me of the value of analytics; it’s much harder to get business executives to incorporate them into day-to-day practices. It would be helpful for its own cause if IBM SPSS were to identify promising uses of advanced analytics by function and industry and provide a canned blueprint that can serve as a starting point. Such a blueprint would incorporate a business case illustrating the problem, the suggested steps for addressing it and the scope of benefits that can be realized. The continuing explosion of data will give rise to an increasing number of ways that business and finance executives can use information to their advantage. But first they have to know that they can.

Reliable data must be readily available in the necessary form and format, or that shiny new IT bauble you want to deploy will fall short of expectations. Our research benchmarks cover a range of core business and IT processes, and they regularly demonstrate that data deficiencies are a root cause of issues organizations have in performing core functions; typically the larger the company, the more severe the data issues become. Today, “big data” is a popular buzzword, connoting the ability of companies to tap into large amounts of structured and unstructured data using advanced data processing technologies and analytics to achieve insights not available using more conventional techniques. Big data is an important phenomenon, but in using it organizations must ensure that it doesn’t become a larger, faster way of experiencing the GIGO effect: Big Garbage In – Big Garbage Out. At IBM’s recent business analytics analyst summit, IBM Fellow and Chief Technology Officer Brenda Dietrich talked about the challenges of dealing with big data. In passing she provided insight into what may be one of the most important ways to address this challenge. Today, handling data used for business analytics requires rigor to ensure the quality of the output. For this reason, most of today’s analytics are based on structured data, usually internally held. Our benchmark research confirms that today’s big-data efforts usually use existing internal structured data, not external and/or unstructured sources of information. The most commonly used source, customer data from CRM and other systems, is employed by two-thirds (65%) of companies, while 60 percent use data from transaction systems such as ERP and CRM. Only one-fifth (21%) use social media, 13 percent use multimedia and a mere 5 percent use data from smart meters. In the future, however, companies will need to exploit a greater amount of external, less structured and more complex data (multimedia, for example), because the most significant opportunities to profitably employ analytics in the future will come from expanding the scope of data applied to business issues. One illustration of an analytics application that combines structured internal and unstructured external data is an analytic application that devises a just-in-time right-of-way maintenance process for an electric utility. Such maintenance is labor-intensive and expensive, but then so is dealing with the impact of downed power lines in severe weather. Rather than employing the usual approach of setting a fixed maintenance schedule, using these analytics it’s possible for a utility to combine internal data about the right of way, customer density and past incidents with real-time weather sensors (measuring rainfall, for example) and three-dimensional imaging to deploy maintenance crews more optimally. Efforts can be diverted away from less pressing areas to those where vegetation density poses the greatest threat of damage in the near term. Analysts have considerable scope to devise innovative approaches using broad sets of data to address every aspect of managing a business, including operations, risk management, modeling and forecasting, to name just a few. However, broadening the sources of data used in business analytics poses difficult challenges. In today’s analytics, to ensure the quality of the answers, specific data used in reporting and modeling must be selected and values slotted into the appropriate pigeonholes. This approach will grow increasingly impractical when businesses try to utilize larger sets of information, especially when this includes an ever-changing set of unstructured information. Unstructured data exists outside of formal databases and includes text in documents, social media and the Web, as well as voice, video and other rich media. A major point of Dietrich’s presentation was that to make sense of this torrent of ever-changing data it will be necessary to develop models that are far more adaptive and flexible than today’s at ingesting data. Analytic modeling must be iterative, to accommodate learning and the evolving sets of data available. And the models must be able to assess the degree of trustworthiness of the information used and communicate the degree of confidence that consumers of the results should place on the results. With so much of the information coming from sources outside the company, the system needs to learn how accurate it is and how applicable it is to the analysis being performed. Over time, these broad data sets can become quite reliable and therefore extremely useful. Meanwhile, the basic techniques of judging the quality of the data are important in themselves. It may be that even using the best available information will result in an answer that is “garbage” (that is, low-quality information that you shouldn’t trust), but at least the system will tell you that’s what it is. Being able to discern the difference will enable organizations to look for answers much more freely without having to spend time developing structure or doing rigorous testing to ensure quality. I think today’s big-data efforts represent the first small step in what’s likely to be a long process of developing technologies, techniques and practices to use in designing and employing analytics that work with large sets of data of all types. The skeptic in me sees the danger of big data becoming big GIGO. The futurist in me sees the potential to apply information technology intelligently to develop better business practices in a way that is not feasible today. Both of us will be watching closely to see what happens.

We were particularly interested in offering fact-based market research that would focus on the practical needs of getting the most value from technology in business and IT functions. Since then many of the observations we make and much of the advice we offer are grounded in our benchmark research. In a field that often blurs the distinction between fact and opinion, we stress the former. The quality of our research stems from the methodology and the processes we use in benchmarking organizations’ performance. We believe our approach makes our research highly credible and worthy of your attention. I suspect that only a relative handful of people who read research from various firms pay close attention to where their findings come from. Being a skeptical, numbers-oriented guy, I am routinely appalled when I look at the demographic data behind some of research I see published especially when I am included in the research. I’ve seen purely finance-focused research surveys (on the financial close, for example) in which the large majority of responses came from individuals who don’t work in finance. Or in the case of issues that mainly affect larger organizations, responses that come mostly from companies with fewer than 100 employees. This sort of research is fundamentally flawed and should not be used for any education or decision making purposes. It should be common sense that as a rule people who work in IT departments, for example, know little about the specifics of how line-of-business and finance departments function, and vice versa. For that reason, we are careful to qualify those who participate in our research. We ask individuals only questions that they can reasonably be expected to answer knowledgeably or voice opinions rooted in first-hand experience. If our research topic is a significant issue for larger companies, we eliminate the responses from small and midsize businesses before we compile our findings. At times we like to highlight the differences between groups of participants, which are revealing. For example, we have examined what IT departments think is important to line-of-business users and, in the same research, compared it what line-of-business users say they think is important. As well, we have comprehensively compared and contrasted the requirements and attitudes of small and midsize businesses with those of larger ones. We refer to our research as “benchmark” because it examines the intersection of organizational functions from business and technology perspectives to identify points of friction and challenges in utilizing information and technology to manage performance. Our benchmark research reveals an organization’s maturity in its ability to execute key functions and can serve as a guide for improvement. Another differentiator of it is the experience we apply to devising our questionnaires that cover each topic comprehensively in a relatively short set of questions. Of course, there’s some value in doing surveys that simply catalog what technologies organizations are using, what issues they face and what plans they may have for the future. But we believe there’s substantially greater value in research such as ours that connects the dots between how companies use information technology in their important functional processes and how successful they are in executing them. Our benchmark research also assesses the maturity of organizations in how they handle these important core processes, and the underlying maturity of their specific people, process, information and technology elements as well as the benefits they achieve or do not achieve. Companies can use this approach to begin assessing how they compare to a benchmark and how they compare to similar companies. The benchmark research is the foundation of everything we do. Combined with the experience of our team of industry experts, it provides the framework and the facts for our advice, observations and assessment of applications and technology to help organizations improve performance. Sometimes the research reveals facts that contradict the assumptions of conventional wisdom (especially when this wisdom is driven by bias or wishful thinking). For example, to be truly successful, sales and operations planning (S&OP) is supposed to involve a broad spectrum of business functions. Yet our S&OP benchmark showed that only 21 percent of companies involve four or five of the five key functional areas in the planning process – namely executives, manufacturing, operations, finance and sales. Nearly half (45%) involve either none or just one of them. Thus we were able to conclude that one important reason why S&OP initiatives are not achieving their objectives in many companies is a lack of broad participation. In another example, our recent benchmark research on trends in the financial close revealed that rather than achieving a faster close, companies on average take longer today to complete this core financial function than they did five years ago. We hear companies pay lip service to closing fast, but a majority of them are taking longer than they should (five or six business days) to complete their monthly or quarterly accounting cycle. I’m writing this partly because I want to make clear why I believe our research and methodology is of the highest quality, why it’s worth your consideration and why spending time participating in our benchmark research is worthwhile. I also bring this up because my email in-box is inundated daily with requests from other analyst organizations to participate in some bit of research. The question sets they send are basic, and not surprisingly, their findings are often unremarkable and at times just wrong, in my judgment. The main purpose for their research, unfortunately, is not to achieve a better understanding of technology users’ needs and practices, but to generate leads that are sold to technology vendors. (Full disclosure: We offer this service to sponsors of our research, but we send along contact information for only those participants who indicate they want to be contacted by a specific technology vendor.) I have no doubt there are differences in the quality of business-focused IT research offered by different companies. Ventana Research is dedicated to creating and communicating the highest-quality research possible that drives education on best practices and the available avenues for improvement.

To address this gap in the market, several years ago IBM Cognos launched Express, a business intelligence and planning software package designed specifically for midsize companies as well as independent workgroups within larger corporations. It’s a package designed for easy (and relatively inexpensive) implementation and maintenance, often by channel partners. Midsize companies usually begin deploying IBM Cognos Express with a single, focused initiative. Typically this might be a straightforward analysis and reporting effort, combining data from, say, an on-premises ERP system, a cloud-based CRM system and individual spreadsheets to produce a set of periodic reports. Express is designed to make end users self-sufficient in setting up and modifying analyses, reports and dashboards, without much assistance from IT professionals. This is important because midsize businesses typically have limited IT resources, and in larger companies, business units may be looking to avoid having to rely on and be charged by their corporate IT department. I reviewed the potential of Express to support integrated business planning two years ago. Business divisions or other autonomous workgroups within a larger organization may find Express a useful option. Even in large corporations that already have IBM Cognos software, some potential users prefer to employ spreadsheets for analysis, reporting, business modeling and planning rather than more capable tools because they are frustrated by the mediocre abilities and subpar responsiveness of their IT departments to deliver quickly what users need. In the new release of Express it offers several built-in capabilities that I expect many midsize companies and stand-alone business units will find especially useful, such as mobile analytics, enterprise spreadsheet capabilities, the ability for users to create interactive analytic dashboards and advanced planning, budgeting and forecasting. Also included are “Analytics on the Go” capabilities – built-in mobility support that enables individuals to use a native iPad application to access and interact with reports and data. This is an attractive option for executives in midsize companies who want to be able to “manage by walking around” while using up-to-the-minute reports as the basis for discussions with managers. So-called active reports enable disconnected users to run business intelligence applications interactively – another handy capability for executives and others who routinely are on the go. Express provides an enterprise spreadsheet option that enables users to work natively with Microsoft Excel while addressing all of the major defects that spreadsheets pose when used in repetitive, collaborative business processes. Having centrally managed data, managed hierarchies, business rules and (where applicable) formulas and calculations can ameliorate familiar issues with desktop spreadsheets such as referential integrity, data integrity, errors and inconsistencies, as well as supply more useful dimensionality. In other words, it’s easy to roll up data from multiple sources, make overarching changes to assumptions about, say, exchange rates or health benefit costs across the company, as well as slice and dice data or store multiple scenarios for side-by-side comparison. In short, users can have the convenience of a spreadsheet without the usual hassles. Visual presentation of data is another common issue doe spreadsheet users. Highly proficient spreadsheet jockeys can, in theory, assemble multiple graphical elements to present a rich set of data visualizations. Yet few people can do that well, and even for those who are, the data displayed is static. Express gives even casual users the ability to assemble multiple graphs, indicators and tabular data into a single, comprehensive view that users can drill down into to explore underlying detail. Express is also a good tool for business planning, forecasting and budgeting. It supports driver-based modeling, rolling forecasts and planning. Managers in functional groups can build their operating plans in a familiar environment and immediately roll up this data into an overall corporate plan. (You can read a more detailed assessment of Express’s planning and budgeting capabilities in the blog entry mentioned above.) Moreover, these and other processes can be supported by workflow, which enables process administrators to manage handoffs and approvals more effectively, speeding their completion. Our research shows that a majority of companies face delays when they manage processes using spreadsheets. IBM Cognos has designed and priced Express to conform to the way most midsize companies or business units adopt software. Buyers can start with a small, single-purpose initiative and build from there. The pricing structure accommodates this but also encourages broader deployment for multiple purposes. To midsize companies and business units in larger organizations that want to make a graceful transition from spreadsheets to more capable software, I recommend that they look at IBM Cognos Express to determine whether it fits their requirements.

Although managing them requires separate and sometimes very different processes, on the whole these activities affect each other: Effective corporate governance ensures compliances with laws, regulations and company policies, and without governance, there’s no way to control risk. Separately or considered together, managing governance, risk and compliance is increasingly important. Risk is part of any business undertaking and comes in many forms. Managing it involves anticipating negative events, understanding their costs, determining whether potential benefits outweigh the risks, and applying controls to prevent risk events or mitigate their impacts if they occur. Managing risk intelligently is a hallmark of successful companies. Similarly, compliance with existing laws and regulations is essential. Governance ensures that processes are in place to perform legally mandated tasks (such as filing forms or performing tests) in ways that reduce or eliminate the risks and consequences of failing to meet requirements. Automating tasks in governance, risk and compliance can enable organizations to complete them regularly and quickly while avoiding both errors that mean having to redo the tasks and the costs of mismanaged risks or inadequate compliance. Software that automates aspects of GRC management processes, from collecting data to analyzing it to submitting status updates or reports, can monitor risks and alert people when thresholds are passed. It likewise can manage the steps required for compliance approval. Yet it seems that most organizations don’t deal effectively with GRC. Our research finds a solid majority of companies (63%) in the bottom half of our maturity distribution in their management of governance, risk and compliance. Our analysis, which assesses maturity in four organizational categories, found that companies are more mature in People and Process and less mature in Technology and Information. In both the last two categories, more than 70 percent of research participants ranked at the two lowest maturity levels. Regarding Information, the research uncovered what we view as a lack of engagement in the core issue of access to and use of the data necessary to measure and assess risk. One barrier that many companies face is their use of spreadsheets in GRC processes, which by themselves can introduce unacceptable levels of risk and errors. Among the factors holding companies back here is that, like so many purely administrative tasks, corporations (especially those that are not heavily regulated) look to satisfice their compliance obligations, not optimize them. Investments that could improve the efficiency of these processes have a low priority. Another factor is that while risk management is a well-understood business requirement in financial services, with centuries of established practices and metrics, it’s much less well developed in most other industries. Companies typically consider risk in business decisions, but they do so more informally and in an inconsistent fashion. Thus, critical information needed for formal risk measurement and assessment is either not captured by a company’s IT systems or captured in a form that it is not useful for this purpose. It’s certainly true that governance, risk and compliance activities do not generate revenue and rarely confer a strategic advantage. Nonetheless, organizations should not treat these activities lightly. Most companies do not need to make wholesale changes to their business priorities to add GRC processes, and they don’t need to make major investments to achieve measurable improvements in how they execute these processes or manage risks. Simply automating the processes as much as possible lets companies meet requirements while cutting the time and effort to manage them. At present there are no software tools that address GRC as a package, as we’ve noted before. Our benchmark research shows that as organizations begin to consider options for each facet of their GRC compliance – whether financial, operational or IT – they must look for practical qualities in software, particularly usability and functionality, that will help them complete tasks more easily. We expect to see a market developing to handle GRC as a platform as vendors build more unified and coherent arrays of offerings. I expect the driver of this to be a desire by large consulting partners with broad GRC practices to work with a limited set of vendors. Since many GRC projects require a heavy dose of intellectual property and expertise, I believe customers will find value in working with one or possibly two vendors, blending their intellectual property with packaged software. Organizations that take these steps will be more confident that they handle GRC well and turn their attention to other activities that directly impact their success.
