Achieve your business objectives through an expert-led risk assessment workshop

Proactively identify and manage uncertainties that could impact your organisation

As an ambitious organisation in today’s rapidly evolving environment, you may easily overlook blind spots and vulnerabilities that could hinder your business objectives. Without clearly mapping out your risks and the associated controls, you might be exposed to negative impacts while also missing out on opportunities that uncertainties present.

Do you have a clear view on the key uncertainties that are important for your business? More importantly: how you are you managing them? 

A risk assessment workshop is a pragmatic and easy way to ensure that you have a comprehensive view of the various exposures within or outside your organisation that require an effective response.

The benefits of a risk assessment workshop

A risk assessment workshop benefits your entire organisation. It demonstrates your stakeholders (including regulators if applicable) that you have a proactive and structured approach. Additionally, it provides insights on your risk exposure and creates risk awareness across the business. Here are several key benefits of such a workshop: 

Break down your organisation’s silos: 

  • By covering transversal end-to-end business processes and involving teams from various departments or activities, this workshop often reveals key vulnerabilities and unexploited sources of opportunity.   

Boost your risk culture: 

  • Create more awareness and proactive attitude towards what could happen in your business and motivate your employees to stay alert and to be owner of their risks. This workshop is a great way to upskill your staff, both in the business and risk management functions.   

Perform proactive & positive risk management: 

  • It is always better to be safe than sorry. Why wait for risks to materialise in incidents or miss opportunities if you can address them in the first place? This workshop prepares you for the worst and the best, by looking both at your past incidents and your past success stories as a lesson for better resilience and improved performance. 

Here’s what you can expect

A typical risk assessment process goes as follows: 

Before the workshop: 

  • Determining the scope of the workshop and deciding together with you which teams should be present.  

During the workshop:

  • Identifying your risks & controls, performing a first assessment. Validating the outcomes in a risk matrix with all participants.  
    1. Risk identification 
    2. Control identification
    3. Risk assessment (perceived risk) 

After the workshop:

  • Checking for controls that were overlooked, assessing the risks and the effectiveness of their controls.
  1. Control assessment

  2. Risk assessment (residual risk)

  3. Risk treatment 

This workshop shouldn’t just be a one-off initiative. In the end, we help you set up an action plan based on three crucial elements: 

  • describe the action addressing the causes of risks;
  • appoint who’s responsible for managing it;
  • determine a target date. 

This ensures accountability and make sure the workshop has long-term impact on your organisation.
