SESSIONS At 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4, Cynthia Schmitt will discuss a critical ERM issue: how to measure severity, and do so consistently throughout a global organization. Schmitt will discuss how the $5.7 billion mailstream provider utilizes “disclosure levels” to assess and communicate severity throughout the organization and to stakeholders. Exploring issues of risk ownership, Schmitt will provide insights on a number of sensitive issues—from the focus on metrics, to the “risk culture” of an organization—to explore the ways companies can tackle measurement. Then at 5:30 p.m., Schmitt will lead a small-group conversation in which chief risk officers can compare and contrast their ERM metrics (limited to 24 risk executives).     Complete Agenda     More Speakers Cynthia Schmitt is Vice President of Enterprise Risk Management for Pitney Bowes, Inc.
