Risk Managing Important of Effective (or both)風險管理:重要或有效(或二者皆是)(下) |
If an organisation believes that risk management is important but is not finding it to be effective in practice (Combination 2), then they should consider launching an improvement initiative to benchmark and develop their risk management capability. Tackling the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for effective risk management will lead to enhanced capability and maturity, allowing the organisation to reap the expected benefits. Key CSFs include a risk-aware culture, efficient processes, experienced and skilled staff, and consistent application, among others.
It is not surprising that risk management is ineffective in organisations which believe that it is unimportant (Combination 3), as it is not possible to manage risk effectively without some degree of commitment and buy-in. These risk-immature organisations should be persuaded and educated about the benefits of risk management to the business - a task best performed by convinced insiders who can show how proactive management of risk could be applied to meet the specific challenges of the organisation. It is a good idea for every organisation to review its position on risk management against the two dimensions of importance and effectiveness, and to take appropriate action to move up the scale of risk management maturity. Risk management offers genuine and significant benefits to organisations, their projects and their stakeholders, but these will never be achieved without recognition of the importance of managing risk at all levels in the business, matched with operational effectiveness in executing risk management in practice.
