How to Create an Effective Risk Management Plan

By Exforsys | on March 21, 2009 |
Project Risk Management

The goal of risk management is to essentially decrease the various risks which are associated with reaching any specific goal. Threats can come in a wide variety of different forms, and some of them include threats involving the environment, humans, technology, and politics. Your risk management strategy may not be effective if you use the wrong plan.

The goal of risk management is to create an approach which is structured when it comes to handling uncertainty, especially those which are related to threats. An effective risk management plan must be comprised of a number of important things, and these things include risk assessment, along with strategies that are designed to mitigate risk. Much of this will be done through the usage of managerial tools.

An effective risk management plan can use a number of different strategies in order to handle risk in an effective way. The risk management plan can transfer risk to another group, or it can avoid the risk altogether. It can also be designed in such a way that the impact of the risk is decreased in case it does occur.

There are other risk management strategies which are designed to accept a few or perhaps even all of the consequences that may come with a given risk. Many risk management strategies place a heavy emphasis on risks that come from things which are related to either legal issues or physical issues. Examples of physical threats are fires or natural disasters, while legal issues will in all likelihood denote things such as lawsuits.

Financial risk plans place a heavy emphasis on protecting the financial assets and resources of the organization. Financial risks will generally be managed through the usage of financial instruments which are traded. When it comes to risk management planning, it is crucial to make use of a process for prioritization, one in which the risks which have the greatest losses and highest probability of occurring are addressed first, while the risks which have a lower impact and probability of occurring are given a lower level of importance. The problem with low probability risks is that they are often mishandled, and this can lead to problems down the road.

How Risk Management Plans Should be Structured

A risk management plan must be capable of identifying new risks. Another type of risk to be mindful of are relationship risks. These risks will often result in situations where a collaboration occurs which is ineffective. A risk involving process engagement may occur in situations where procedures or methods are used which are not effective.

The danger that comes with these risks is that they lower the productive level of the employees, and they also reduce the effectiveness of cost, as well as service and reputation. Intangible risk management must be incorporated into risk management plans since it allows immediate value to be created via the identification and decrease of any risks that may lower productivity.

Another challenge that organizations will face when developing risk management plans is being able to properly allocate their resources. This is closely connected to the concept of opportunity cost. Any resources which are used for the purpose of risk management may also be used for other activities which may be much more profitable.

The goal of your risk management plan should be to reduce the amount of spending to the lowest level possible will maximizing the reduction level of risks at the same time. No matter what your organization specializes in, there are a number of features that your risk management plan should have. First, risk management must be capable of creating value.

Features Your RMP Should Have

Your risk management plan must also be a vital part of the internal processes of the organization. The risk management plan that you establish should play an important role in the decision making process. The plan must also be capable of clearly addressing uncertainty.

All good risk management plans must be structured, and this should be done in a manner which is systematic. No risk management plan should be created which isn’t dependent on the absolute best information which is available. It is also important for your risk management plan to be tailored properly, and it should be both transparent and inclusive at the same time.
