WilliamDevineEsquire creates regulatory risk models for innovators who want a more valuable economic performance, a more durable company, and a role as a global economic leader.

Built at the intersection where regulatory risk meets value creation and leadership, each model is a catalyst.

It helps people recognize and capitalize on not only the often overlooked risks that lie beyond an enterprise's legal duties, but also the opportunities that accompany those risks.

Learn how this practice transforms enterprises and careers in a range of industries at Board and Management.

Investors want companies they fund to possess signficant innovation, leadership and risk management skills. Of the investors responding to the PricewaterhouseCoopers Investor Survey in 2017:

• 95% report that innovation skills are somewhat or very important for companies.

• 92% report that leadership skills are somewhat or very important.

• 89% report that risk management skills are somewhat or very important.

Two takeaways:

First, investor demand for risk management expertise is nothing new: 94% of investors responding to the PwC Investor Survey in 2013 reported that risk management expertise is the most important skill a director can offer, ahead of operational, financial and industry expertise.

Second, going forward, wise leaders will make a strong effort to monitor and capitalize on the interplay between enterprise innovation, leadership and regulatory risk.
