Risk Intelligent Decision Making

Whether strategic or operational, decisions can only be as good as the information they are based on – which means that risk, as well as costs and benefits must be understood.  High performing organisations make risk intelligent decisions and prioritise their efforts accordingly – and to do this consistently requires an effective framework which provides a view on risk when it is needed.

So what makes an effective framework?  Well probably not one which works only according to a predetermined cycle.  Whilst regular risk reviews undoubtedly have an important role in an effective framework, a view on risk needs to be forward looking and relevant at the time decision are made and priorities set.  We believe that effective frameworks are grounded in the fabric of an organisation, to capture the expertise, judgements and opinions that matter to the delivery of objectives.
