The Vital Role of Actionable Insights

Confident business decision makers are more likely to size and price risk exposures and event scenarios.

Nearly 60 percent of “very confident” decision makers have quantified the profit-and-loss of supply chain, cyber risk, and weather-related scenarios and events in the last year, compared to just 36 percent of less-confident leaders.
