RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management

Risk management is a systematic process of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and controlling potential threats (and opportunities) that could impact an organization's objectives. The goal is to minimize the probability and impact of negative outcomes while also leveraging positive ones, thereby protecting assets, ensuring business continuity, and fostering long-term success.

Education

The core steps in risk management are:
1. Identify Risks: Recognizing potential issues or uncertainties that could affect your goals.
2. Assess and Analyze Risks: Evaluating the likelihood and potential impact of each identified risk.
3. Prioritize Risks: Ranking risks based on their severity to focus on the most critical threats.
4. Develop Response Strategies: Formulating plans to mitigate, avoid, transfer, or accept the risks.
