Discover Wheelhouse Advisors’ 2025 Integrated Risk Roadmap for Research and Insights
As the world of risk management evolves, Wheelhouse Advisors remains at the forefront of delivering insights, research, and actionable strategies to navigate the complexities of today’s dynamic risk landscape. In 2025, we will focus on four overarching themes corresponding to the key segments of the Integrated Risk Management (IRM) framework: Technology Risk Management (TRM), Operational Risk Management (ORM), Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). These themes will guide our content delivery through the IRM Navigator™ Reports, IRM Vendor Compass™ Ratings, The Risk Wheelhouse podcasts, and articles in The RiskTech Journal.
Q1: Technology Risk Management (TRM) - Navigating Digital Complexity
In the first quarter, we will examine how organizations can effectively manage technology risks in a hyperconnected world. The focus will be on securing digital ecosystems, leveraging artificial intelligence responsibly, and ensuring resilience in the face of cybersecurity threats.
Our IRM Navigator™ Report for TRM will highlight market trends, technology innovations, and vendor capabilities within the TRM segment. The IRM Vendor Compass™ for TRM will assess key players’ ability to integrate TRM solutions into broader risk management frameworks. Podcasts and articles will explore lessons from major incidents like the CrowdStrike update disruption and strategies for integrating AI risk management into existing frameworks.
Q2: Operational Risk Management (ORM) - Building Resilience Amidst Uncertainty
Quarter two will focus on operational resilience, emphasizing strategies for managing supply chain vulnerabilities, responding to crises, and enhancing critical infrastructure protections. With growing interdependencies across industries, ORM has become central to ensuring organizational continuity.
The IRM Navigator™ Report for ORM will provide an in-depth look at how ORM solutions align with broader risk management strategies. IRM Vendor Compass™ for ORM will evaluate vendors’ abilities to address operational disruptions and integrate third-party risk management capabilities. Complementary podcasts and RiskTech Journal articles will address resilience lessons from healthcare and financial services, with actionable insights for other sectors.
Q3: Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) - Adapting to Regulatory Pressures and De-globalization
The third quarter’s focus will center on how robust GRC frameworks help organizations navigate shifting regulatory landscapes and respond to the challenges posed by de-globalization. With escalating regulatory pressures and evolving global trade dynamics, organizations must ensure compliance while maintaining agility.
The IRM Navigator™ Report for GRC will delve into the growth of the GRC segment and its interplay with other IRM components. IRM Vendor Compass™ for GRC will spotlight integrators, accelerators, and niche players in the GRC space. Our podcasts and articles will address emerging regulations, the role of ESG in compliance, and how businesses can adapt to changing trade policies while maintaining governance excellence.
Q4: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) - Strategic Foresight for the Future of Risk
As the year concludes, we will turn our attention to ERM’s role in aligning risk management with organizational strategy. ERM’s integration with other IRM segments is crucial for managing interconnected risks, addressing uncertainty, and seizing opportunities.
The IRM Navigator™ Report for ERM will analyze market trends and vendor capabilities in aligning ERM with strategic goals. IRM Vendor Compass™ for ERM will evaluate vendors’ strengths in integrating ERM solutions with ORM, TRM, and GRC. Podcasts and RiskTech Journal articles will explore best practices for turning risk into opportunity, aligning AI and digital transformation efforts with long-term objectives.
