Strategies and tactics for resolving reported risks by at least 75% throughout the year
The strategy aims to resolve at least 75% of reported risks throughout the year by employing a structured and comprehensive approach. The first step involves assessing and classifying all reported risks, which includes compiling a list, categorizing them based on severity and likelihood, and setting deadlines for addressing each risk category. It also involves assigning team members, holding monthly progress meetings, and regularly updating the risk classification.
The strategy further includes implementing effective risk mitigation techniques. This involves developing action plans, allocating resources, monitoring implementation, and conducting training sessions. Additionally, a risk-tracking software will be used, and effectiveness evaluations will be conducted monthly.
Lastly, fostering a risk-aware organizational culture is essential. This includes conducting workshops, encouraging transparency through a risk reporting system, integrating risk management into company strategy, and celebrating risk management successes. A risk management committee will be established to provide continuous education and facilitate open discussions about risks.
