Chapter 12 Presented The Approach Intuit Uses To Measure The Effective

Chapter 12 presented the approach Intuit uses to measure the effectiveness of their ERM, and chapter 15 presented the process the City of Edmonton employed to develop and deploy their ERM. You are an ERM consultant, retained by Intuit to re-implement their ERM. They have decided to start over and develop a new ERM for their current organization. Would you recommend that the base their new ERM on PM2 Risk Scorecard or ISO 31000? Explain why you would choose one over the other. You must use at least 2 paragraphs (of your own words) to justify your answer along with at least two references.

Paper For Above instruction

As an ERM consultant tasked with guiding Intuit in developing a new Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system, it is crucial to select a framework that aligns with the company's operational needs, strategic outlook, and maturity level. Among the options, ISO 31000 stands out as a comprehensive and flexible framework that offers broad guidance adaptable to various organizational sizes and industries. ISO 31000 emphasizes a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risks, fostering a risk-aware culture across all levels of an organization. Its principles, such as integration, structured decision-making, and continual improvement, make it particularly suitable for a technology-driven company like Intuit that continually evolves in response to market and technological changes. ISO 31000's robust yet adaptable nature ensures that risk management is embedded into strategic planning, operational processes, and organizational culture, providing a resilient foundation for sustainable growth (ISO, 2018).

On the other hand, the PM2 Risk Scorecard, developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), is primarily focused on project-level risk assessment within project management environments. While it provides valuable tools for assessing project-specific risks and can be useful for managing individual projects effectively, it lacks the broader organizational scope necessary for comprehensive enterprise risk management (PMI, 2019). The Scorecard’s narrow focus on projects might lead to fragmented risk management practices that do not integrate seamlessly with the organization's strategic objectives. For a company like Intuit, which requires a holistic view of risks affecting strategic initiatives, market positioning, and operational stability, ISO 31000 offers a more suitable and scalable approach. Thus, I would recommend adopting ISO 31000 as the foundation for the new ERM system, enabling the organization to develop a cohesive, enterprise-wide risk management strategy that enhances resilience and strategic agility.
