Identify risks that may affect the strategy and document their characteristics. This is an iterative process as new risks may evolve or become known as you implement your strategy. Make a risk register by listing the identified risks, prioritizing them for further analysis and combining their probability of occurrence and impact.
Since the number of risks can turn out to be high, best practices of risk management suggest that approaches for prioritizing risks are taken so that resources can be optimally allocated. The DSSI Risk Management Process establishes a pre-determined scale for assessing the risk’s probability of occurrence and impact to the program objectives, as described below.
The determination of the importance of the risk is calculated multiplying the Risk Probability by the Risk Impact, resulting in the Risk Exposure, which indicates how impactful each risk is to the program’s objectives, and anyone must be responsible for taking any mitigating actions towards it or not.
