“If you don’t invest in risk management, it doesn’t matter what business you’re in, it’s a risky business.” – Gary Cohn

safeguard your mission: how risk leadership enables social change

focus on the cause and effects of risk events, risk prevention and mitigation

risk registers are often a process of documenting problems in colour-coded tables. a more nuanced approach is needed to address the causes and effects of risk and manage uncertainty.

  • identify risks and understand “what success looks like”
  • assess the causes and potential consequences of each risk, including the upside and downsides
  • what controls are in place to manage the risk event (and is it effective)?
  • what is the level of risk and what are we going to do about it?
