Managing Risk in all its Glory

July 11, 2018 - Managing risk may be one of the biggest issues facing businesses of all sizes today. What's your process for risk management?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Sense and deal with problems in their smallest state, before they grow bigger and become fatal."

1. Enterprise risk management and business continuity

The impact of an event may be negative, positive or both. Events with a negative impact represent risk, which can prevent value creation or erode existing value. Events with a positive impact may offset negative impacts or represent opportunities. Opportunities are the possibility that an event will occur and positively affect the achievement of objectives, supporting value creation or preservation. Management channels opportunities "back to its strategy or objective-setting processes, formulating plans to seize the opportunities."

4. Using Technology to Streamline Governance, Risk and Compliance

Risk can span across multiple areas within the business environment, and a single risk factor can have numerous cross-organizational touch points. Vastly different business units such as information security, vendor management, compliance, business continuity, physical security and human resources are all critical aspects within an overall risk and compliance strategy. Yet these separate areas within an organization can traditionally lead to a silo-based and inefficient approach to risk management.
