Future of Corporate Risk

FORESIGHT RADAR

For a long time, risk was something you could measure and file away until the next review. Identify the threats, weigh them, build the framework, revisit it next cycle. That rhythm worked because risks were largely legible: market cycles, regulatory shifts, the occasional shock.

It holds less well now. Consider how much has shifted in a single reporting cycle. Trade routes and supplier relationships have become instruments of leverage. The economics underpinning the AI buildout have been rewritten more than once, in both directions. Some risks kept moving, others changed shape, and a few surfaced that no one had mapped at all.

The Future of Corporate Risk Radar functions as a living companion to our Future of Corporate Risk report. Tracking the changing landscape of risk, it extends the report's five domains - geopolitical fracture, digital and AI disruption, climate pressure, workforce and sociocultural change, financial and legal exposure – into more than 50 phenomena, each assessed and reassessed by our team as the signals evolve.

How to read the phenomena colours

The phenomenon is becoming more common or acute during the given timeframe. Most of its change potential is still ahead. 

The phenomenon is becoming more unusual. During the given timeframe, most of its change potential or value has already occurred. 

A possible but not probable event or change. The probability within the given timeframe is between 5% to 30%. 

A small emerging issue in the present. At the given timeframe, it is still hard to say whether it will become a trend.
