The global economic slowdown has again topped the list of the greatest concerns to business leaders in Aon’s 2011 Global Risk Management Survey.

Fresh concerns have also appeared on the list, with “failure to innovate and meet customer needs” and “technology and systems failure” both making their debut in the top 10.

The biennial report involving nearly 1000 business professionals from 58 countries also lists leaders’ concerns about regulatory and legislatives changes, increasing competition, damage to brand and reputation, the failure to attract and retain top talent, business interruption, commodity price risk and cashflow and liquidity risk.
