- [Risk Taking Without Discipline: An ERM Perspective on Trump’s Leadership](https://arimi.org/risk-taking-without-discipline-erm-trumps-leadership/): Context and Responsibility The role of President of the United States is one of the most demanding positions in the world. Decisions are made under intense pressure, with incomplete information, and with consequences that extend far beyond national borders. Any observation about Trump’s decision-making should be made with that context in mind. Historically, it is common to see US presidents age visibly during their term. The weight of responsibility tends to show. In this case, the concern lies in how that responsibility is reflected in decision-making. Observation of Risk Approach This is my observation of Donald Trump’s approach to risk-taking […]
- [AI Deepfakes and Shadow AI Are Emerging Corporate Risk Concerns](https://arimi.org/ai-deepfakes-shadow-emerging-corporate-risk-concerns/): Artificial intelligence is being adopted across organisations at a rapid pace. Alongside the benefits, security analysts are reporting a rise in new forms of cyber and operational risk linked to AI tools. AI Enabled Deception in Cybercrime One development attracting attention is the use of AI generated deception in cybercrime. Security researchers report that artificial intelligence now enables attackers to generate convincing messages, voices, and digital content that can be used in fraud and impersonation attacks. These techniques are increasingly used in social engineering campaigns targeting organisations and individuals. Microsoft’s Cyber Signals report highlighted the scale of the challenge. Between […]
- [ESG in Southeast Asia – From Compliance to Value Creation](https://arimi.org/esg-southeast-asia-compliance-to-value-creation/): A Region Moving Toward Accountability Across Southeast Asia, the conversation around Environmental, Social and Governance standards has entered a new phase. In Singapore, climate related disclosures are required for all listed issuers from the 2025 financial year using requirements aligned with the ISSB standards. Regulators have since adjusted some timelines for other entities to support readiness, while keeping the FY2025 requirement for listed issuers intact. Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines are strengthening their sustainability frameworks through updated reporting rules, roadmaps and taxonomies that reflect global standards and local realities. The region is no longer asking if ESG matters but […]
- [The $50 COE and the Search for Balance](https://arimi.org/50-coe-search-for-balance/): When balance slips quietly out of reach, systems begin to strain, and risk shows its truest face. In January 1998, the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) for cars between 1,601 and 2,000 cc fell to S$50, the lowest in Singapore’s history. I was working at the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Registry of Vehicles then. The official explanation made sense,  the Asian Financial Crisis had weakened demand, but among colleagues, the conversations were different. Many believed the result reflected not demand alone, but how the market behaved. Dealers made up most of the bidders, and if many held back in that round, […]
- [Business-Model Fragility: What the Hyflux Trial Reveals](https://arimi.org/business-model-fragility-hyflux-trial-reveals/): The ongoing Hyflux trial has revealed once more that the company’s downfall was not only about debt or financing. At the root of its collapse was a shift in business model that was never properly stress-tested through risk management discipline. Hyflux, known for its water solutions, built Tuaspring around a large desalination plant. But desalination is energy-intensive. To control electricity costs, Hyflux invested in a 411 MW gas-fired power plant. In theory, the plant would supply power for water production and generate additional profit through surplus sales to the national grid. Court documents and analyst reports now show that the […]
- [ARiMI Alumni Participate in IIA Asia Pacific ERM Focus Group in Singapore](https://arimi.org/arimi-alumni-participate-iia-erm-focus-group/): On 1 and 2 September 2025, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Singapore, in collaboration with The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc., hosted the Singapore leg of its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Focus Group Series. The session brought together governance, risk, and compliance professionals from across the Asia Pacific region to exchange insights, discuss emerging trends, and share best practices in risk management. Participants joined from the United States, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, and Singapore, underscoring the global and regional reach of the dialogue. Through the partnership between the Risk and Insurance Management Association of Singapore (RIMAS) and […]
- [Why Chronic Diseases Are the Next Global Health Emergency](https://arimi.org/why-chronic-diseases-are-the-next-global-health-emergency/): The Hidden Crisis Gaining Speed The world has spent years preparing and managing pandemics, yet another even more daunting crisis has been advancing steadily and largely unnoticed due to its slow incremental nature. We are referring to chronic diseases that are quickly becoming the dominant health challenge of our time. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and mental health struggles are not isolated problems. They can affect anybody, reinforce one another, creating what Marc Ronez describes as a dangerous flywheel effect, where the forces of poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, constant stress and environmental toxins accelerate a cycle of health […]
- [Human + or vs AI… What is the Future?](https://arimi.org/human-vs-ai-what-is-the-future/): Since the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI in 2022, the development of AI has accelerated dramatically, ushering in a new era of mainstream adoption and innovation that is transforming how we work, live, and think. That framing opened a one-hour ARiMI x RIMAS webinar featuring Marc Ronez, Andeed Ma, and Tianyu Xu. The discussion focused on moving beyond hype and fear to examine the risks, transitions, and opportunities we must understand to shape a safer, more effective, and more innovative future. It remained grounded in current practice and steered clear of speculative claims. AI Within a Wider Risk Map Marc […]
- [When Risk Management Is Treated Like a Role, Not a Responsibility](https://arimi.org/when-risk-management-is-treated-like-a-role-not-a-responsibility/): The Rise of Risk Roles Across Organisations Enterprise Risk Management is under the spotlights, with a new surge of positions appearing on more and more organisational charts. Across both public and private organisations, we’re seeing the allocation of more resources and the formation of dedicated risk units, with newly appointed heads of risk and risk teams, and internal frameworks being put into place. That, in theory, should be good news. Behind the Trend: The Quiet Limitations But there’s another side to this trend. One that deserves more attention. In many organisations, these teams are primarily tasked with operational activities coordinating […]
- [The Critical Distinction: Why AI Risk Management Transcends LLM Cybersecurity](https://arimi.org/ai-risk-managment-transcends-cybersecurity/): And What It Means for the Future of Responsible Innovation… Beyond the Hype Cycle As artificial intelligence transitions from labs to boardrooms, a dangerous misconception persists: that securing AI means merely hardening large language models (LLMs) against hackers. This narrow view ignores the tectonic shift AI demands of enterprise risk frameworks. LLM cybersecurity and AI system risk management are not interchangeable concepts—they are interdependent layers of defense. One guards against targeted technical assaults; the other fortifies organizations against systemic collapse. Understanding their symbiosis is the difference between adopting AI and mastering it. I. The Battlefield: Defining the Domains A. LLM […]
- [ARiMI and RIMAS Sign MOU to Strengthen the Future of Risk Leadership](https://arimi.org/mou-arimi-rimas-future-risk-leadership/): We’re delighted to announce that on 19 June 2025, ARiMI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Risk and Insurance Management Association of Singapore (RIMAS). This partnership brings together two organisations with a shared purpose: to empower professionals across industries with the knowledge, recognition and community support needed to lead in an increasingly complex world of risk. RIMAS, a non-profit organisation founded in 1988, has played a central role in shaping the risk landscape in Singapore. Sparked by the first risk management conference in 1986 and built on grassroots momentum from risk professionals, its formation marked a turning point […]
- [Beyond Competence: What Truly Defines a Great Risk Professional Today](https://arimi.org/great-risk-professionals-values-ethics-integrity/): Risk management is drawing wider attention across industries. From GRC structures and ESG mandates to AI risk modelling and sustainability disclosures, organisations are waking up to the reality that risk cannot be compartmentalised or relegated to a back-office function. As this shift continues, attention often centres on tools, frameworks, and methodologies, which are the more visible side of professional expertise. Yet technical competence, while necessary, is not sufficient on its own. A truly great risk professional is defined not only by what they know, but by how they choose to act in moments of complexity. These are the moments when […]
- [Building Capability Before ERM Became a Buzzword](https://arimi.org/erm-certification-asia/): How ARiMI set the foundations for structured ERM development in Asia   Recognising the Gap Before the Buzz At ARiMI (Asia Risk Management Institute), we have been developing risk professionals through ERM certification in Asia long before Enterprise Risk Management became a corporate trend. While others began to repackage familiar training under the ERM label as global interest surged in the 2010s, ARiMI had already spent more than a decade working with regulators, corporations, and industry bodies to build principle-based frameworks grounded in the real operational challenges organisations face. A National Catalyst for Regional Change It all started in 2003, […]
- [Rethinking the Need for ERM Certification](https://arimi.org/erm-certification-asia-capability/): A smarter investment in a world that demands real expertise   Everyone Wants to Be Risk Ready. But Are They Really Prepared? Everyone aspires to be risk ready. Few truly understand what it takes to get there. Across boardrooms, ministries and institutions, the language of risk has become a strategic fixture. But beneath this growing awareness lies a deeper question. Are professionals today genuinely being prepared to lead critical risk discussions, or are they simply pursuing formal credentials as a proxy for capability? The Problem with Today’s Training Landscape The global training landscape is diverse. Some programs award executive certificates […]
- [Fighting Ransomware Requires More Than Awareness](https://arimi.org/fighting-ransomware-requires-more-than-awareness/): Awareness Isn’t Enough. Action Starts with You. In February 2025, Australian fertility provider Genea was struck by a ransomware attack that led to nearly one terabyte of highly sensitive patient data, including medical histories and test results, being leaked onto the dark web. Just one month earlier, cybercriminals launched a global campaign targeting misconfigured Amazon S3 storage buckets. They encrypted the contents and demanded ransom payments for decryption, leaving affected users scrambling to recover valuable files. These events are not isolated disruptions. They are clear signals of how digital vulnerabilities are being exploited and how unprepared many still are. You […]
- [Finding the Path towards Peace in Ukraine through the Fog of Narrative Bubbles](https://arimi.org/narrative-bubbles-ukraine-war-risk-management/)
- [Trump’s AI Tariff Blitz Risk or Realignment of Global AI Governance?](https://arimi.org/trump-ai-tariffs-nvidia-global-risk-governance/): In a recent Bloomberg Opinion piece, Catherine Thorbecke sounded a timely warning. President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff proposals, framed as economic pressure on China, risk undercutting fragile global efforts to govern artificial intelligence responsibly. The spotlight of the article falls on a particularly sensitive target: Nvidia’s AI chips. By placing these high value technologies on the bargaining table, Trump is signalling that AI hardware is no longer just about innovation or competition. It is now a strategic lever in a broader geopolitical contest. But here’s the real concern. Turning AI into a bargaining chip could unravel ongoing efforts by the […]
- [New Learning Series: Applied Risk Thinking in Healthcare](https://arimi.org/learning-series-applied-risk-thinking-healthcare/)
- [New Learning Series: AI for Risk Professionals & Leaders](https://arimi.org/learning-series-ai-for-risk-professionals-leaders/): ARiMI is pleased to introduce a new learning series for professionals who want to better understand how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of risk management. AI for Risk Professionals & Leaders is a series of focused articles offering thoughtful perspectives on how AI is influencing risk roles, decision-making and governance. Each chapter is designed to help risk professionals and managers reflect on emerging challenges and opportunities as AI becomes more integrated into business and operational contexts. While the series provides valuable insights, it is not a complete guide or training program. Its purpose is to raise awareness, encourage reflection […]
- [The Risks of Selective Storytelling: Lessons from the Lively-Baldoni Dispute](https://arimi.org/risks-of-selective-storytelling/): The dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni goes beyond Hollywood, exposing how influence, media control, and premeditated communication strategies are used to shape public perception; not just in entertainment but also in corporate spaces. Once collaborators on It Ends With Us, Lively and Baldoni are now locked in a high profile public battle over control of the project, allegations of misconduct, and accusations of PR-driven defamation. I rarely follow celebrity controversies, but this case caught my attention because it mirrors a familiar pattern; public campaigns that manipulate narratives, much like the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case. The #MeToo […]
- [TRUMP 2.0: The Disruptor Returns – A Catalyst For A Global Shake-Up](https://arimi.org/trump-catalyst-global-shake-up/)
- [The Anatomy of Failure: Lessons from California’s Wildfire Crisis](https://arimi.org/anatomy-failure-california-wildfires/): California’s ongoing wildfire crisis, which began on 7 January 2025, have exposed critical gaps in forest management, regulatory frameworks, governmental priorities, and resource allocation. While climate change is often pointed to as the root cause of wildfires, in this case, it sounds more like a convenient excuse used by leadership to divert attention from their shortfalls. The systemic issues that exacerbated the California wildfire crisis and led to these apocalyptic fires must be critically examined. Entire neighbourhoods, including Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Woodland Hills, along with other severely affected areas in Los Angeles County, have been reduced to ashes, leaving […]
- [ARiMI Joins Forces with Deloitte to Power Up Risk Management Training](https://arimi.org/arimi-deloitte-collaboration/): The Asia Risk Management Institute (ARiMI) is thrilled to partner with Deloitte Singapore (Deloitte) in a creative collaboration aimed at redefining how professionals approach risk management and sustainable performance.

- [Lessons from Jaguar's Rebranding Backlash in Strategic Risk Management](https://arimi.org/jaguar-rebranding-campaign-backlash-risk-management/): Jaguar’s latest rebranding campaign, aimed at positioning the brand as a modern luxury leader, has sparked controversy for all the wrong reasons. By omitting vehicle imagery and focusing heavily on abstract themes, the campaign left long-time enthusiasts puzzled and critics questioning its connection to Jaguar’s storied heritage. The result? A backlash that highlights a core challenge: how can Jaguar balance bold innovation with brand authenticity to appeal to both legacy customers and new audiences? Navigating this pivotal moment requires more than damage control. It demands a strategic approach blending authenticity, relevance, and consistency, guided by sound risk management principles. If executed […]

The vehicle’s failure to alert the driver to the battery issue in such extreme conditions brought significant scrutiny to Tesla’s safety protocols. This incident raises pressing questions about Tesla’s commitment to safety and risk management. Tesla’s Safety Issues: A Case Study Tesla has faced several notable safety failures globally, including issues with their Autopilot system, sudden unintended acceleration, battery and thermal management problems, and suspension failures.

- [The Risks of Playing It Safe in Today's Market](https://arimi.org/why-playing-it-safe-is-riskier-than-ever-in-business-today/): The Accelerated Pace of Change Traditionally, good corporate risk management has meant careful analysis and flawless execution. This approach worked well until the era of digital disruption. Today, the pace of change is exponential. New competitors like Airbnb, Netflix, Shein, Temu, and OpenAI leverage powerful technologies, reshaping industries and creating new value. Brands that move cautiously or are slow in their transformation efforts risk irrelevance or extinction. The Connected Ages and Generative AI Rishad Tobaccowala, former chief digital officer of Publicis Group, identifies three “Connected Ages” over the past three decades that have transformed business: from e-commerce to smart devices […]
