Managing Operational Risk: New Insights and Lessons Learnt addresses the root causes of the unprecedented operational risk losses suffered after the financial crisis; the new and emerging operational risk threats; and the lessons to be learnt for those working within the sphere of operational risk. Through the use of case studies and analysis of industry trends, Michael Grimwade examines how we can make operational risk management more effective.
The author Michael Grimwade has been one of the most important thought leaders on Operational Risk and his book does not disappoint. Brilliant insights and comprehensive analyses make this a must read for both people who are new to Operational Risk as well as advanced practitioners. Top marks.

A true big picture view of Operational Risk Management
Rating

This book is one of the few that takes a 'systems' view of Operational Risk. Based on detailed research, this book looks at cases of major Operational Risk failures over time and pulls together a coherent theory of how and why such failures occur. A major work in the discipline.

Michael Grimwade has delivered indeed a book on Operational Risk that resembles no other, providing new insights and pushing the boundaries of what Operational Risk managers typically contemplate.
This book…is the result of years, even decades of experience, observation and intelligent analysis of the banking industry...

Major Operational Risk events are traditionally seen as idiosyncratic and linked to failures of systems and controls at individual firms. In this work, the author looks at mainly post-2007 Operational Risk events and finds a periodic correlation with wider trends in society
This work therefore represents a worthwhile challenge to Operational Risk practitioners to widen their thinking…

This book should be compulsive reading
Rating

This book should be compulsive reading for all Operational Risk professionals. I was particularly impressed with the section on transferring credit defaults and market turmoil into Operational Risk. In addition, the section on new and emerging Operational Risks addresses the topic that should attract attention from us all as we seek to avoid the next big Operational Risk event.
