Executive Perspectives on Top Risks for 2024 and 2034

The ever-changing risk landscape and the overall perceived magnitude and severity of risks should prompt boards and executives to scrutinise closely the approaches they use to remain focused on emerging risk issues and to integrate those insights into strategic decision-making.

The 12th annual Top Risks Survey report highlights top-of-mind issues for directors and executives around the globe over the next year - 2024 - and a decade later – 2034.

Now is an opportune time for C-suite executives and their boards to examine closely where to invest – not only to innovate and grow but also to manage risks, preserve market image and branding, and foster a strong recovery when the economy is free of headwinds.

Given the long-term risk landscape, two questions arise for leaders:

• If our organisation is being disrupted, how would we know and when would we know it?
