Risk Management Report and Tool Kit

Risk is an uavoidable part of doing business, and the effective management of risk is what separates successful companies from the also-rans. The Risk Management Report and Tool Kit, newly published by FreePint, provides users with practical guidance on planning, developing and evaluating a programme of risk management, along with eight hands-on tools to adapt the ideas within the report to their specific situations.

Author Jela Webb is a noted consultant, writer and speaker on the topic of knowledge management and risk management and has worked in the emerging field of risk management since 1992. She makes clear the parallels between the disciplines of knowledge management and risk management, while highlighting the special requirements of an effective RM programme.

The report is divided into four chapters, which introduce the concepts of risk management, describe risk management projects and activities, and emphasise the top-down and bottom-up requirements of risk management. Far from being the responsibility of a single individual or department, risk management is the job of everyone within an organisation.

The eight activities in the tool kit help users identify and categorise the risks facing their own organisations, prioritise among risks, identify tools and processes already in use within the organisation with risk management application, and develop a timeline for implementing or auditing a risk management programme.
