Rethink your risk management assessment, systems and processes
Business leaders often poorly assess the risks to their business. Some business leaders are:
- Over optimistic on their ability to manage key business risks or are ignorant of what the key risks are that they should be focusing their limited resources on.
- Underestimate the impact of uncertainty on their business objectives.
- Perceive themselves to be invincible in business.
- Too risk averse. They take too little calculated risk to enable them to be successful in business. Or they take the wrong risks.
Business leaders need to do more to include incorporate risk in decisions about how the business is run, what to invest time and money into and prepare better for risk events that are in their control or are not within their control in terms of occurrence.
Unsurprisingly, risk events can turn fatal for a business when the risk event occurs at the worst time for a business. A risk event maybe insignificant if managed properly at any time, but a risk event occurring at the wrong time that is badly managed could become an existential threat to the survival of a business.
Allocate your limited resources of time and money to risk management most likely to help you survive and prosper whatever risk events occur whenever they happen. Protect your critical functions better. Seize opportunities to grab success from the mouth of defeat! Rethink how you perceive and manage business risks. Be better prepared by changing the way you discuss risk in your business. Instead of thinking a risk event may occur in next year ask yourself if it occur within next 25 years – extending your focus will not only help you to be better prepared for business risks but you will deploy business resources more cost effectively. Too often we think in terms of an insurance year and this creates inappropriate risk management spending and overspend.
The good news is that bad business decision making is the largest contributor to the failure of a business following a risk event! Improving your risk management decision making gives your business the best chance of survival and increased success in business.

About Improve Risk Management Workshop Identifying and Improving Business Risks Workshop
Our first Risk Management Toolbox Talk explored Failure To Manage Enterprise Risks Vs Failure Of Risk Managers. All risk managers can fail to manage enterprise risks but that does not mean all risk managers are failures.
Assuming you have taken responsibility for managing your business risks you may now want to understand those business risks better? What would be ideal, would be to work further on identifying and improving your business risks so that your business is better protected and more able to grow faster with less uncertainty impacting on your business objectives.
Our ongoing workshops seek to identify common business problems and find quicker cheaper better ways to solve business problems. You will work with like minded people on country risks, industry risks or specific business risks common across the board.
Collectively we can be better at managing business risks? We can easily improve risk management as frankly our business risk management performance has left a lot to be desired.
