Seven Steps to Better Financial Services Risk Management

16:42 | Rio Pesino | Apr 17th, 2008 3:52pm |

Join BearingPoint Managing Director Brian Hart to explore the seven steps to more effective performance and risk management. As a result of the recent credit crisis, organizations are faced with a challenge of making the best use of a very constrained balance sheet. BearingPoint has created a seven-step methodology to help organizations address these issues, and position their companies to deliver superior results.
