<p>London &ndash; November 2, 2009 &ndash; Manigent, a thought leader in performance and risk management, today announced the availability of a unique application that empowers companies to effectively grow in economic challenging times and meet more intrusive regulatory environment that has begun to emerge as a result of the credit crunch.</p>
<p>StratexPoint was developed on Microsoft&rsquo;s market-leading SharePoint 2007 platform and leverages Manigent&rsquo;s Risk-based performance&trade; methodology. It integrates and aligns performance and risk management within a single, Web 2.0 application, enabling organisations to take an integrated, enterprise-level approach to tracking and managing performance objectives, risks and controls.</p>
<p>Manigent co-founder and Managing Director Andrew Smart said: &ldquo;Organisations need a different type of performance and risk management solution - one that is based on a sound approach and the leading SharePoint technology platform. Functioning both as a business intelligence solution and a knowledge management solution, StratexPoint makes it easy to leverage SharePoint to deliver strategy, achieve performance targets, and manage risk.&rdquo;</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.manigent.com/manigent-connect/balanced-scorecard-necessary-but-not-sufficient-1.html"><rss:title>Balanced Scorecard - Necessary but not sufficient</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.manigent.com/manigent-connect/balanced-scorecard-necessary-but-not-sufficient-1.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Andrew Smart</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-10-21T08:51:00Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Balanced Scorecard Events Linking Risk and Performance Performance Management Risk Management Risk-based performance</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The presentation, Balanced Scorecard - Necessary but not sufficient, delivered at the Unicom's Strategic Performance Management and Balanced Scorecard Forum on 20 October 2009 is available.

<p><strong>October 29</strong> &ndash; Institute of Operational Risk Management - Risk Appetite and Economic Capital workshop</p>
<p>IOR has asked Andrew Smart to present the Risk-based performance approach, specifically focusing on how it addresses issues related to Risk Appetite and alignment with Risk Exposure.</p>

<p>Andrew Smart will be presenting the Risk-based performance methodology and supporting research to the masters program at the University of Siena.</p>
<p><strong>November 11</strong> &ndash; <a href="http://www.unicom.co.uk/riskbasedperformance">Manigent and Unicom Risk-based performance training workshop</a></p>
<p>Manigent has partnered with Unicom to present a one-day interactive workshop, during which attendees will gain insights into the Risk-based performance methodology. It will touch on the methodologies from which it evolved, Balanced Scorecard and COSO, and then move on to show how to use the methodology to integrate and align performance and risk management processes to enhance strategic execution.</p>
<p>Participants will:</p>
<p>Gain a conceptual understanding of the Risk-based performance methodology. <br />Discover the relationship between strategic objectives, risk appetite and risk exposure, and tools for managing this relationship. <br />Understand the role of strategic objectives and key risks, how to define, integrate and align these. <br />Become familiar with the three different types of key indicators, how to define and apply these.Understand Strategic Activities and how to align to objectives and risks.</p>

<p>In this paper, we are focusing on how organisations can successfully align their performance and risk management processes to enable them to survive the recession, and subsequently exploit opportunities presented as growth returns. We argue that successful strategy execution, in a post credit crisis world, will be built on the foundation of balancing risk appetite and exposure within the context of clear strategic objectives. Embracing this new paradigm will enable organisations to answer three critical questions:<br />1. What we are trying to achieve i.e. what are our<br />strategic objectives?<br />2. What level of risk is acceptable to achieve those<br />objectives i.e. what is our risk appetite?<br />3. What is our current level of risk i.e. what is our<br />risk exposure?</p>

<p>Google &lsquo;Risk Maturity Model&rsquo; and a number of very interestingapproaches will be presented. Many of these models provide the answer to the question&lsquo;<strong>How mature is our risk management process?</strong>&rsquo; in one form or another. However, in this case, answering this single question didn&rsquo;t feel sufficient as our client was seeking to do more than simply &lsquo;tick boxes&rsquo; with this project. They were seeking to drive a business transformation.</p>
