The Conference Board

Phil Forve
Assistant Vice President, Business Excellence of Cargill Inc.

"The Conference Board helps me connect with professionals outside my company to learn timely and useful information. For example, in the past week, I was asked a question by my colleague about processes other companies have in place to recognize leadership. I sent out the 'itch' to my Conference Board associates and bang!- within 24 hours I have many useful inputs. I place a lot of value on ready access to that kind of knowledge and experience."

Enterprise Risk Management

The Conference Board's work on integrated risk management or enterprise risk management (ERM) has provided insights to executives through research, councils and conferences. As stakeholders demand greater rigor for managing all corporate risks -- from strategy to operations to finance to compliance — many companies are choosing integrated risk management as the solution. The Risk Management program helps executives better understand how to develop and execute ERM successfully.
