Nimble Risk Topics
Within the Nimble Risk area, we emphasize the following methods to infuse a risk culture into the business that formalizes your approach to risk which has many benefits:
| Nimble Risk Topics | Description |
|---|---|
| Risk Register | The prescribed method to ensure that known risks are captured for the purpose of being eliminated. This works well for both internal and external risks. Internally anyone can and should contribute to the risk register. Externally you will want to encourage transparency but will want to funnel risk observations through an internal authority. |
| Risk Response Playbook | A formalized playbook designed to ensure consistent and rapid response to risk events when they surface. By formalizing such a playbook, you ensure that previous unknown risks are captured and processed. This serves as the entry point for making certain that newly identified risks are properly managed. |
| Environmental Risk | A type of risk that may require special considerations regarding impact from environmental sources. This could be anything in your operating environment including many things. |
| Operational Risk | A type of risk that requires special consideration regarding impact involving operational sources including supply chain, business continuity, and resilience. |
