What is Risk Control? • Risk consists of two things: • The probability that something will go wrong • The negative consequences that will occur if something does go wrong. • Risk control allows you to identify and manage potential problems that could undermine key business initiatives or projects.
Steps for preparing a Risk Control Analysis… • Identify threats before you start the project. • Assess the likelihood of the risk happening and possible impact • Manage the risk • Continue conducting regular reviews – don’t lose track of the balance sheet!
Social Science’s Place in Business Decisions • Risk is less acceptable at a higher level of management - desire to not be the person responsible for failure • Moral equivalence – using a small risk as a justification for performing a larger risk • Guilt or shame vs. risk • Risk is happiness • Jyn – the Moroccan spirit of good and bad
