A Global View of Enterprise Risk Management
December 2009
As the importance of managing risks appropriately has become increasingly evident, more companies are now adopting an enterprise risk management (ERM) approach. ERM programs offer a holistic, integrated and strategic way of managing risks that can give companies an advantage over competitors still relying on more traditional tactics.  Watson Wyatt’s global research publication Horizons provides vital data and analysis on ERM to help business leaders plan and manage risks in today’s uncertain business environment.

A global view of offshoring
December 2007
One of the most difficult decisions companies encounter is where to locate their employees. And because offshoring is a key consideration, we made it the focus of this inaugural issue of Horizons. Companies can achieve tremendous cost savings by moving worksites abroad, however, offshoring presents significant risks as well as rewards, and success requires careful planning built on solid analysis.
