The Risk Institute

The Risk Institute at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business is a consortium of forward-thinking companies and academics that understand effective risk management strategies not only protect firms, but position firms to create growth and value. We help members consider risk from all perspectives: legal, operational, strategic, reputational, talent, financial, and so many more.

The Risk Institute operates at the intersection of risk research and risk management practice, focusing on an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to risk management.

• Rooted in Research: We fund and distribute leading edge risk research in order to leverage risk as opportunity
• Committed to Collaboration: We partner with academics, students, and executives from a broad cross-section of industries
• Dedicated to Education: We equip students and executives with the knowledge to lead their companies through risk's threats and opportunities with confidence
