Key Definitions
3
Risk Management is the culture, processes and structures that are directed towards realising potential opportunities,
whilst managing adverse effects.
A risk is a measure of the potential inability to achieve a goal or target within defined safety, cost, schedule, and
technical constraints. A risk has two components: the likelihood of failing to achieve a particular outcome, and the
consequence of failing to achieve that outcome. A risk is a future event and can often be managed proactively.
An issue is a risk that has occurred and has become a problem. An issue is an undesirable event that has occurred and
its occurrence cannot be stopped or directly controlled.
Risk assessment is the qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of the likelihood and consequence of a risk occurring.
Likelihood is the probability of a specified outcome.
A closed risk is one that either no longer exists (i.e., the risk has evolved into an issue or is no longer relevant), is no
longer cost-effective to track, or has been mitigated.
A Risk Owner is an individual to whom a risk is assigned. The Risk Owner is responsible and accountable for
identifying, implementing, and tracking the risk mitigation strategy and actions.

Context and objectives of having a clear Risk Management approach
4
Context
Risk management is an important function in organizations today. Companies undertake increasingly
complex and ambitious initiatives, and those initiatives must be executed successfully, in an uncertain and
often risky environment.
Objectives of having a clear Risk Management approach
• Provide a systematic approach to the early identification and management of risks
• Provide consistent risk assessment criteria
• Make available accurate and concise risk information that informs decision making including business
direction
• Adopt risk mitigation strategies that are cost effective and efficient in reducing risk to an acceptable level
• Monitor and review risk levels to ensure that risk exposure remains within an acceptable level

Benefits of Risk Management
5
1 Increase the likelihood of achieving the organization strategic and business objectives
2 Encourage a high standard of accountability at all levels of the organization
3 Support more effective decision making through better understanding of risk exposures
4 Create an environment that enables the organization to deliver timely services and meet
performance objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner
5 Safeguard the key assets of the organization: human, property and reputation
6 Meet compliance and governance requirements

Introduction

You can directly use this deliverable for your own purposes. You’ll simply have to insert your logo and adjust
the slides based on the specificities of your organization.
Please note that this document also includes many slides with best practices, tutorials, and real-life
examples to help you adjust this deliverable based on the specificities of your organization. These slides
includes an orange rectangle on their top right corner. You may decide to delete these slides as they are
mainly here to help you fill in the rest of the deliverable. Before you do so, copy paste this document, so you
always have the original version in case you need it.

What do we mean by risk appetite?
13
Risk appetite is the amount of risk an entity is willing to accept or retain in order to achieve its objectives. It
is a statement or series of statements that describes the entity’s attitude towards risk taking. Determining an
entity’s risk appetite occurs through the development of risk appetite statements which clearly set out what
the executive consider to be acceptable risk-taking. Risk appetite statements are usually aligned to
categories of risk (e.g. financial, people and reputation risks).
Risk appetite statements will look and feel different according to an entity’s internal and external context. If
these are not calibrated, the resultant actions may be skewed either too lightly (e.g. no action
required) or result in an over-controlled risk response.
To help us assess our organization’s risk appetite, we decided to use a risk appetite scale (see next slide).

What are the benefits of defining risk appetite?
14
Supporting conscious and informed risk taking
Promoting a more consistent risk management approach
Guiding risk decision making
Structuring the executive conversation on risk taking
Calibrating the organization risk assessment process

Simple Risk Log
Description
20
To identify our company risks and project risks, we created a simple Risk Log in Powerpoint.
This simple Risk Log will be used when our list of risks is small or if we need to make a presentation in front
of our Board of Directors, Executive Committee or any stakeholders that do not need to know too many
details.

Comprehensive Risk Log
Description
22
To identify our company risks and project risks, we created a comprehensive Risk Log in Excel.
This comprehensive Risk Log in Excel will be used when we have a long list of risks and need to provide a
lot of details for each one of them.

document “Comprehensive Risk Log”

To assess the Probability of a risk to happen, we can use a 3-level rating
or a 5-level rating depending on our needs

We identified 6 types of mitigation strategies
29
Avoid a threat
Reduce a threat
Transfer the risk
Share the risk
Accept the risk
Prepare a contingency
plan
This option is about making the uncertain situation certain by removing the risk, often by removing the
cause of the threat
This option is about taking action now to change the probability and/or impact of a threat
This option is about transferring part of the risk to a third-party (e.g. taking an insurance policy)
This option is about sharing the risk with another entity or multiple entities, in order to minimize the
potential impact on one single entity
This option means that the organisation decides to accept that a risk may occur, and decides to take no
action, exposing itself to the full possible impact
This option means that the organisation decides to accept that a risk may occur, and decides to take no
immediate action, but puts in place a series of contingencies to deal with the potential impact

We will define and implement our mitigation strategies by using our
comprehensive risk log in Excel
30

We will monitor the implementation of our mitigation strategies by
leveraging our Dashboard in Excel, which will automatically be updated
based on the input we make in the Risk log
