Risk Management
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats or uncertainties that can affect your organization. It involves analyzing risks’ likelihood and impact, developing strategies, roadmaps and/or matrices to minimize harm, and monitoring measures’ effectiveness. There are several strategies to address risks, such as:
-
Risk Avoidance: Avoiding activities that could lead to potential risks;
-
Risk Reduction: Minimizing the impact of risks rather than eliminating them completely.
-
Risk Sharing: Distributing the risk among multiple parties, such as through insurance or partnerships.
-
Risk Transfer: Shifting the risk to a third party, like purchasing insurance to cover potential property damage.
-
Risk Acceptance: Accepting the residual risk after all other strategies have been implemented.
