Strategic risk (Sr) is increasingly important in banking and specifically in strategic planning and risk management processes. This article describes some conceptual models useful to Sr mapping, analysis and management. The first model depicts the different ways Sr originates, with the help of the Control and Risk Self Assessment tools. The second model illustrates a taxonomy of different types of Sr and their drivers. The third model gives a systemic view of Sr controls, by locating them in the appropriate stage of the strategic process.
