As a reminder, risk management is the process of understanding the hazards facing an organization and taking steps to bring them to within a level determined to be acceptable by the senior leadership. It’s not about eliminating risk completely but managing it in a rational, informed way. It’s a permanent ongoing activity.
As a practical activity, enterprise risk management (ERM) centers on eight distinct risk domains, some strategic and some operational. With respect to this process, the total landscape of risk that is assessed and mitigated can be divided into eight risk domains. For more on those strategies, click here and here.)
