C.S. Venkatakrishman

CEO, Barclays

"The XOI method is the most comprehensive quantitative and analytical framework that I have encountered for the identification, assessment and management of Operational Risk. I have employed it for five years and found it both usable and effective. I recommend this book as essential reading for senior risk managers."

Olivier Vigneron

CRO EMEA, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

"The XOI approach was a 'Eureka!' moment in my journey on operational risk. Coming from a market risk background, I had the impression that beyond the definition of operational risk, it was difficult to find a book that described a coherent framework for measuring and managing operational risk.”

Emile Dunand

ORM Scenarios & Stress Testing, Credit Suisse.

"The XOI approach measures operational risk by identifying and quantifying key loss drivers in business terms, not risk management jargon. It can be used for risk appetite setting and monitoring. I strongly believe the XOI approach has the potential to become an industry standard."

Michael Sicsic

CEO at Sicsic Advisory

"The key benefits of the XOI method are to provide an approach to understand, manage and quantify risks and, at the same time, to provide a robust framework for capital modeling. Thanks to this method, we have been able to demonstrate the business benefits of operational risk management."

Michael Furnish

Head of Model Governance and Operational Risk, Aviva.

"The XOI methodology provides a structured, robust, forward-looking, and easy-to-understand approach for modeling operational risk scenarios. This book offers practical guidance on how risk managers, risk modellers, and scenario owners can collaborate to model operational risk scenarios consistently."

ORX

Operational Risk Consortium

We believe that there is huge merit for the use of structured scenarios for operational risk management."
