Risk Management Warning Flag 1 – Unadjusted Resourcing of Risk Monitoring Activities

StrategyDriven Risk Management Warning Flag ArticleMajor projects typically add significant operational, financial, reputational, and regulatory risk to an organization’s overall risk profile. This project risk may by itself exceed the normal level of organizational risk leaders are accustomed to dealing with. Consequently, these strategic projects demand the implementation of risk identification, monitoring, mitigation, and control activities. These risk management activities, however, are often unaccounted for in the project’s budget and instead draw resources away from the organization’s other risk management efforts; diminishing the business’s overall ability to effectively manage its other risks.

StrategyDriven Risk Management Forum

StrategyDriven Risk Management ArticleAll organizations face a host of risks incurred during the conduct of day-to-day business operations and stakeholder interactions. These risks challenge executives and managers in so far as they can have consequentially negative impacts on the organization’s ongoing sustainability from an operational, financial, reputational, and regulatory perspective.


Risk = Probability of an adverse event’s occurrence times the severity of the event’s impact should it occur


Organization leaders seek to manager their risks’ likelihood and/or impact; identifying, assessing, and prioritizing followed by monitoring, mitigating (accepting, avoiding, minimizing, or transferring), and controlling each risk. Effective risk management optimizes the cost of risk monitoring and mitigation with the expense incurred should the event occur.

Focus of the Risk Management Forum

Materials within the risk management forum focus on those principles, best practices, and warning flags associated with the effective monitoring, mitigation, and response to both identified and unidentified – Black Swan – risks.

Risk Management Best Practice 4 – Risk Quantification

StrategyDriven Risk Management Best Practice ArticleEach organization faces a unique set of risks challenging the continuity of its operations. All risks, however, are not equal. In order for an organization’s leaders to economically manage their business’s risks, they must first understand each risk’s inherent and residual value. Failure to quantify the organization’s risks produces a less meaningful set of potentially adverse events; lacking relevance, priority, and return on investment information and often resulting in the application of either too many or too few resources applied to address these challenges.
