This tool gives you a framework for prioritizing risks quickly and effectively. Establish a probability scale for purposes of risk assessment. According to PMI's PMBOK guide “The objectives of project Risk Management are to increase the probability and impact of positive events, and decrease the probability and impact of negative events in the project. From ISO, NIST and IEC, as these bodies don't have concurrence on the subject and this issue was highlighted in one of the previous posts “Risk Management Dilemma in Digital marketing!”. Need to rethink the nature and management of financial risks? Luther and I agree on his bottom-line statement. Probability: Probability is the chance of occurrence of a given event. Risk Evaluation Risk = Probability x Impact x Vulnerability x Actor x Motivation. The intention However, in practice the process is not always straightforward: there may be occasions where you will need to consider the importance of risks with a high probability of occurrence but lower loss against risks with high loss but lower probability of occurrence. The approach most widely used to assess risk probability in risk management is represented by the Probability Impact Matrix (PIM). Prioritizing Risk After the risks have been identified, they must be prioritized in accordance with your assessment of their probability. According to Alan Berger et al there are ”Five Neglects” common in risk management: 1. Ascertaining and measuring risk and the probability of risk, has always been central within the insurance industry, although I believe that risk managers have never been as valued as they are today. To implement a project successfully, you need to manage risks well. Strategic risk management can therefore be considered to be a prioritisation process, whereby once risks have been identified and assessed, they are then managed in order of priority. Risk management deals with the probability that a given risk will result in poor outcome and then attempts to reduce probability. Insurers are also beginning to identify and define measures to control operational risk by quantifying it from low to high with objective or subjective probabilities. The bottom line is probably that probability is a complicated and subtle concept, which means that risk management, which relies on it, also is. In the previous chapter, we saw an overview of all the tools and techniques that we could use as part of the Qualitative Risk Analysis phase of Risk Management. Although risk management is the responsibility of entire organization but as always there is single responsible person who is leading the initiative and monitoring it; that person is Risk Manager.
