Sample Answer

     

According to the video Enterprise Risk Management | Thomas H. Stanton | TEDxJHUDC, two elements of successful Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) systems are:

  • Information flow from bottom to top and top to bottom and across the silos of an organization.
  • A culture of open communication where employees feel comfortable reporting risks without fear of reprisal.

The speaker argues that these two elements are both important but having a culture of open communication might be slightly more important. Even with a good information flow system, if employees are afraid to report problems, the system will not work.
