BUSINESS RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONTINUITY PLANNING  

With two of our clients recently experiencing fires that impact operations, the timing of HUB International ‘s 2026 Profitability & Resiliency Executive Survey is excellent as a reminder for all clients of the importance is solid risk assessments. Nearly one-third of organizations operate without a mature, enterprise-wide risk strategy, and only 5% demonstrate advanced maturity. With rising costs, AI-enabled cyber threats, geopolitical volatility and climate-driven events, organizations must move from reactive to ready.   Their 4 key strategic priorities for 2026 are:  

  • Calculate total cost of risk (that should include reputation, regulatory exposure, uncovered losses and volatility);   
  • Embed risk analysis in strategic planning;   
  • Build your business continuity foundation; and  
  • Distribute risk ownership throughout the organization.
