Whether you are an entrepreneur in a small consulting firm, an executive in a large global corporation, or a business manager accountable to deliver on your mandate or performance requirements in a government, not-for-profit or other organized enterprise, the one thing you have in common is risk. Risk comes in many forms. Generally, risk can be grouped into four broad categories: Business Risks, Financial Risks, Technical Risks and Legal Risks. A smart Risk Management strategy adopts an integrated approach to risk management that includes an assessment of the key risks, their likelihood and impact, measured against the results to be achieved. Without an awareness of these risks, the project or initiative is imperiled from the start.
