Experience has shown that risk and reward are inter-related and businesses cannot maximise reward (Shareholder Value) without taking a calculated risk. The art and science of calculating risk is the challenge faced by executives on a daily basis. An in-depth, informed risk analysis is critical to achieve shareholder value.

The African continent is perceived to be world’s greatest opportunity for corporate expansion. However, lack of proper risk analysis has meant many organisations have been unable to maximise shareholder value and have either under-achieved or failed in their African expansion endeavours.

The Africa Risk Map provides a unique view on the pervasive and interconnected nature of risk, giving executives a useful tool to identify the specific risks pertaining to their organisation when operating in Africa.
