In
the increasingly complex world within which we live, risk management and
mitigation is a discipline that is growing in importance for both private and
public sector organizations. A risk is defined as anything that threatens an organization's ability to
generate profits at its target levels, in the long term, risks can threaten an
organization's sustainability. Risk Management and
Risk Mitigation is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks
to the scope, schedule, cost, and quality of a project, or to an organization’s
success. Risks come in the form of
opportunities and threats and are scored on the probability of occurrence and
impact on a project. These risks can be classified in various ways, including
financial risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, liability risk, security and
compliance risk, natural risk, and many others.
There
are many useful books and guides written on the subject of risk management and
mitigation. However, a statistical approach to risk management and mitigation focuses
on measuring and understanding the impact of both positive and negative risks
on the outcomes experienced and considering how the risks and their impacts may
evolve over time. In Business, it’s important not to ignore risk management and
its mitigation in case of unexpected events that can cause losses to the
business. According to PWC, the 2022 Global risk survey highlighted that
65% of organizations are increasing overall spending on risk management technology,
and 75% of organizations are planning on increasing spend across data
analytics to support the detection and monitoring of risks.
All
businesses face risk, and risk is scary, especially in times of change or
uncertainty. Using risk mitigation strategies can help shield your business and
your team from unnecessary risk, reducing uncertainty and moving your business
forward.
