Risk Management Framework¶
-
Set Context: Establish the framework for risk management, including team, roles, timeline, budget, and risk tolerance.
-
Identify: Research risks, review historical data, assess current conditions, brainstorm potential risks, and register them.
-
Evaluate: Assign probability and impact to each risk, analyze and prioritize them, and determine a response strategy.
-
Strategize: Decide on risk treatment - whether to terminate, transfer, or treat the risk, and outline tactical responses and indicators.
-
Review: Reassess and track the risks and the effectiveness of the risk management strategies, record any changes, and prepare to start the process again.
Creation of a Plan¶
Creating a plan for developing a risk management framework involves several key components as outlined in the image:
-
Process: Define the procedure to develop and integrate the risk management framework into the business.
-
Outline: Develop a comprehensive outline for the risk management framework. A detailed checklist for this can often be found in the same text or document.
-
Methodology: Detail the qualitative and quantitative means for risk assessment, analysis, ranking, and the inclusion in a risk register. Also, describe how the organization will handle risks, whether by terminating, tolerating, or transferring them.
-
Definitions: Establish a common language for the team by agreeing on the definitions of terms related to risk management.
-
Templates: Agree on templates that will be used throughout the framework's development. These templates should include tools for risk identification, analysis, evaluation, and the risk management framework itself.
