Our top 5 tips for risk assessments

Organisations often struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes from risk assessment workshops. In this webinar, Mark Alston shares five practical tips for improving risk assessment workshop outcomes and delivering controls that reduce risk.

• Change the focus of risk assessments: Rather than simply justifying a decision that has already been made, use risk assessments to identify uncertainty and unknowns.
• Include the discovery of normal work: In addition to identifying potential risks, it’s important to understand the context of work and the risks that come with it.
• Develop risk scenarios that focus on the credible.
• Push the boundaries of controls.
• Ditch the Excel spreadsheets and other risk assessment tools.
