1. Introduction
1.1 Risk a short introduction
Risk is one of these things that many people define in different ways. Things will happen (u don’t know
what, when and which impact), but you can’t just stay home because bad things will happen (even though
there are risks, the enterprise still has to complete their missions).
Risk is about uncertainty:
➢ Uncertainty over
o What is going to happen?
o When it is going to happen?
o How big the impact will be?
➢ Yet, organisations need to manage this uncertainty, because:
o NOT travelling the road is not an option
o Risk should not distract us from our goals…
Highly publicised risk is not always the most important risk, there is need a consistent and systematic
overview of all risks.
The real cause of the problem is quit important.
➢ Need for a method for consistently analysing risk down to root cause
➢ Need for a mechanism to distinguish small from big risk
➢ If we quantify risk we need solid methods and reliable data to do so
Risks relates to objectives
➢ Example: if you want to cross a bridge safely and dry there is much risk
But if the objective is to have fun there probably won’t be a lot of risk
Detectability
➢ You know what to look for, i.e. what constitutes risk for you and what not…
o In other words: what are the relevant risk scenarios for your organisation?
➢ Once known, risk can be analysed, controls can be implemented, monitoring is applied to
recognise risk occurrence and to respond as appropriate
U have to able to detect risk, have to know what can happen, knowing what to look for. Only
then u can see how bad they are and take counter measures
