In this episode, we explore the key themes shaping the operational risk landscape based on ORX News coverage in Q1 2026. Alongside the latest loss data and major events, we look at how industry priorities compare with realised losses, highlighting gaps between perception and experience in areas such as conduct, cyber and third-party risk. We also examine developments in external fraud, cyber incidents and regulatory change, including the UK motor finance redress scheme. Taken together, these insights help build a clearer picture of where risks are emerging and how firms are responding.

We also look ahead to what comes next, with a growing focus on real‑time monitoring, better use of data and stronger connections across risk and resilience, supported by automation and AI to drive better insight, decision‑making and resilience.

In this episode, Simon Wills, Luke Carrivick, and Steve Bishop discuss our strategic vision for operational and non-financial risk. They explore how changes have impacted operational and non-financial risk profiles and priorities. And look at why this transformation requires a shift in the approach to risk management.

Some of the topics explored are:

  • Do we see a transformation in the business?
  • Do we think that transformation in the business is impacting risk priorities and profiles?
  • And as a consequence of that, do we think that operational and non-financial risk management needs to change?

Operational and non-financial risk (ONFR) management has an opportunity to step up like never before and support financial organisations as they go through a period of rapid transformation.

To do so will mean making operational and non-financial risk resilient by using innovative technologies, which then enable risk leaders to innovate how they serve the business and actively add value. In this episode of the ORX Operational Risk Podcast, Simon Wills, Luke Carrivick and Mark Cooke explore how operational risk can do this in detail.

This second part of the discussion follows the publication of a recent report that explores the future of operational risk in light of rapid digitalisation and other changes in the financial services industry. This report sets out two elements of operational and non-financial risk management – “Optimise” and “Active” – explaining how optimisation will only go so far in terms of keeping pace with the rapidly changing risk profile.

In this episode, Giuseppe Aloi, ORX Scenarios manager, is joined by Luke Carrivick and Steve Bishop from ORX to discuss how scenario analysis has evolved over the last decade and how it will continue to develop.

This conversation follows a series of discussions we held with operational risk experts, scenario experts and the heads of operational risk on the role of scenarios at their firms.

We wanted to understand both how scenarios are currently being used and how they can evolve to better support operational risk management in financial organisations. From these discussions, we created a white paper – Operational Risk Scenarios: From Risk Measurement to Risk Management and Beyond – which is available to download for free. 

This podcast builds on the white paper, with Giuseppe, Luke and Steve looking at how scenario analysis at financial institutions has moved from an initial focus on modelling and measurement to playing a key role during the pandemic and, finally, exploring how scenarios are evolving to support proactive operational risk management.
