Understanding Risk Management And Risk Mitigation

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.
