The Importance of Risk Management

Risk management is becoming increasing important. The organizations that fail to allocate
adequate resources to risk management leave themselves susceptible to harm that not only affects
business operations, but also potentially causes irrevocable damage to business reputation. Once
an organization loses its reputation, it is the start of the demise of the demise of the organization.
Organizations must make risk management a high priority. Risk management is fundamentally
an approach in which organizations explore identify, analyze and mitigate the risks that can
affect operations.

Risk Management

Organizations have always had to contend with managing common risks that could cause
detrimental losses, such as fires, thefts and natural disasters, however, now in the digital age,
cyber crime also factors into the equation. Proper planning plays an essential role for successful
risk management. Another key element in effective enterprise risk management is the inclusion
of both positive and negative business risks.

Be Prepared

Organizations should be prepared to face with standard risks of doing business and also facing
the unknown too. Not only do the right systems and processes need to be in place, but they must
be tested and monitored accordingly with constant improvement as the goal.
In addition to just-in-case plans and products, such as a list of alternate suppliers or an insurance
policy, organizations that successfully manage their risks also adopt routine practices to manage
the potential hazards they have identified. In many cases, new positions are created, such as new
departments arise to integrate risk management into everyday operations, including equipment
maintenance and quality assurance teams.
Risk management provides company leaders and stakeholders with peace of mind in a fast-
evolving business climate.
