What Is Risk Management Risk: • Exposure to danger, harm, or loss • Effect of uncertainty on the objective Risk Management: • Identify, assess, and prioritize your risk • Mitigate risk by elimination/reduction through practice, policy or process • Monitor risk • Control the probability of an event
How To Move Forward Training: • Enlist help from within your organization (RM) • Seek subject matter experts, internal/external Reading material: • A lot of information, self help books • Darker Shades of Blue, Predictable Surprises, Outliers, Checklist Manifesto, Why We Make Mistakes ISO 31000: • Principles and guidelines RM (terminology)
Identification of Risk • Seek input from entire staff to identify risk • Our staff and administration identified 30 topics • Topics brought to light may surprise you

Risk Assessment Failure Mode Effects Analysis Quantitative means to measure risk (low/high) • The seriousness of their consequences (Scale 1-10) • How frequently they occur (Scale 1-10) • How easily they can be detected (Scale 10 -1) Total Risk (RPN) is the product of S x F x D
Risk Prioritization Risk prioritization starts with evaluation of the Total RPN’s Generally, the risk with the highest total RPN will be assigned the highest priority to address This will not always be the case though
Risk Prioritization Example: 2 Risk Topics • Social media • Safety at crime scene (S x F x D = RPN) • 5 x 5 x 2 = 50 • 10* x 4 x 1 = 40 Severity (10) results in serious injury, death, or loss of accreditation (you may want to start here)
How to Mitigate Risk • Avoid: Withdraw from that activity • Share: Outsource (external insurance) • Retain: Accept and budget for it (self insurance) • Reduce: Control or moderate risk (solve problems or improve process)
Risk Reduction • Identify causes of known/potential risk • Brainstorm potential solutions • Identify strategic risk measures on actions (metrics) • Implement solutions/actions • Check results at least annually and adjust
