The authors present it as a book on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), more specifically a book that will help the ERM leader to practice a better risk management. They claim that this is the book that the ERM leader should hand to its functional leaders to practice a sound risk management. In my opinion the book fells very short of this ambitious objective. The book is way too short to discuss with some minimum level of needed detail the complexities of ERM.The book has four parts and eight appendixes (all in 142 pages including the Endnotes). Part I, the book’s most interesting portion, has eight Guide Points that give a nice flavor of ERM. It is not detailed, there is no description, but a reader can get a rough idea of what ERM means in just a few minutes. In these fifteen pages, the authors briefly define ERM, explain the importance of linking it to the business model and its strategy, and mention the importance of approaching all the risks in a combined fashion. Part II provides a (too) brief discussion of five important points in ERM: Identify, Prioritize, Mitigate, Report and Measure. Independently of agreeing or not with the book’s approach, the way this is treated is, again, too short (25 pages for the five points), so we do not have the chance of learning from it. Part III discusses five functions of the firm: Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, Information Technology, and Investor Relations. In my opinion, again, the discussion is way too short, but it is also difficult to understand why we do not see a discussion related to other areas of the firm that are equally important for risk management like for example; Operations, Security, Supply Chain, etc. Part IV discusses a short case in which the authors discuss the application of ERM through the Process Points of Part II.
