Risk Management

How do you optimize for risks?

Navigation in a world with risks

We have our market focus on companies – public and private – that have a production and operational setup, where risk management - in a broad sense - is one of the key elements in the company's overall performance.

This must be done through what we call offensive risk management, where it is the companies – private and public – that take risk that are successful.

When talking about "risk management", you may ask: 'how can you manage a situation or a risk?' The answer is: When using the right navigation systems, the chances of success are greatest.

Different levels of risk

The organization's and the company's strategic - and more long-term goals - may be associated with relatively indefinable risks. Maybe they and their consequences won't be visible until after a long time. Therefore, it may make sense to have an overall, more general risk policy.

The policy should like to support the overall vision, mission, and values. The defined risk policy forms the basis for actual risk strategies that are more operational than the risk policy. These are related to more concrete projects and programs. Here, the focus of the decisions is more specific, especially in relation to time frames and finances.

Short-term, operational objectives are often related to operations, but risk decisions at this level must support the fulfillment of the more general strategies and policies. At this level, the risk picture typically changes relatively quickly, so continuous and attentive monitoring at this level becomes especially important.

Risk Management in all Industries

Risk management is important for both private and public companies and organizations - within manufacturing, municipalities, education, logistics, healthcare and many more.

Risk handling is a part of reality

To expose one self for risks is a essential part of managing a business, interacting with people and handling assets. Nobody can avoid risks so preparation and sensible handling of risks and uncertainties should be prioritized.

Different Types of Risks

Risks include events and incidents such as emerging competition, scandals and much more - who said worldwide pandemics? They occur with different likelihoods and have varying consequences. You should prepare for risks based on a weighing of both probability and consequence - based on your own risk appetite.
