When do we manage risks?
Managers already manage risks in their operations, usually in an informal way.
The Department has created a risk management process that can be integrated into a manager's existing activities (for example, processes, policies, procedures).
This effective risk management process should be applied to all levels of the organisation in all areas, such as:
-
planning
-
functions
-
programs
-
projects
-
activities.
It can also be applied to activities related to key external stakeholders.
