As a risk workshop facilitator I get to assist many organisations assess risk to their key organisational objectives. Interestingly the outcomes are not always about risk treatments, often they are about reviewing risk appetite.
Situation One:
The results of the risk workshop show that three of five key strategic objectives have Extreme risk ratings. This may be due to one of two scenarios: Either you are an organisation that is on the edge of the cliff OR your risk criteria are simply wrong.

Perhaps ten years ago, reporting risk profiles or organisational threats was a challenging thing to do for many risk analysts on the job and while the majority of risk reports were fundamentally ordinary, it became apparent quite quickly that a simple list of hazards was never going to cut it.
In this blog we look at an emerging era of risk reporting.
In the world of risk, analysts and managers alike try to reduce the likelihood of an event occurring by inserting controls between the event's driving factors and its outcome.

If there is a Bank Credit Portfolio with the dates of payment expired, isn't it interesting to measure how much is the (accumulated) Probability, the Borrowers do NOT pay ?
