63% of CEOs and directors report that their exposure increased in the past year. And it’s not just headline crises, it’s the slow, quiet threats.
Yet only 40% of directors feel confident in how well their boards define risk and act on it. That gap is a warning signal every organization should heed.
Top boards respond differently. They don’t settle for reports; they dig deeper. They challenge assumptions. They ask:
What’s quietly breaking in our systems?
Who owns this risk?
Are we measuring the right indicators, or just what’s convenient?
In 2026, risk isn’t a single event. It’s a constellation of small failures that compound over time. Awareness isn’t enough; action separates thriving companies from those that stumble.
Follow Enterprise Wired for clear insight into how boards think about risk, make decisions, and safeguard the future.
