Accenture’s Risk is Everywhere is a timely exploration of how compounding risks are reshaping the role and priorities of risk leaders today. The report discusses the importance of modernising the risk function’s skills and technologies and why establishing a “risk mindset” across the entire organisation, so that every function and employee has the tools and capabilities to detect and mitigate threats, is critical for turning threats into opportunities for growth.
While risk is a heavily discussed topic, the report’s framing around the acceleration and intersection of global risks provides a fresh perspective that is clearly laid out both on the landing page and within the report itself. It speaks directly to risk professionals, offering accessible insights and learnings from peers, supported by data.
The opening uses light storytelling to draw readers in, followed by sharp statistics that establish credibility and purpose. The report’s structure is particularly strong and well-branded, it's visually engaging and easy to navigate thanks to a contents page and consistent signposting. Professional language and thoughtful case studies enrich the narrative. While the report errs on the longer side, it delivers value and manages to maintain clarity throughout.
The inclusion of author biographies reinforces Accenture’s expertise, and the report outlines actionable steps with supporting survey results and relevant case studies. However, there is a missed opportunity to more clearly connect insights with specific Accenture services. Despite this, the report makes a strong case for Accenture’s understanding of the modern risk landscape and its role in helping organisations navigate it.
