Answer You - Conducting Risk Assessment
What if everyone understood the value of networking? What if all small businesses could network in their communities? What if small business people were careful to get involved, join clubs and become active members in their chamber of commerce? What if all small businesses understood that often it is easier to network than to throw money at a problem? What if small business people realized that sponsoring a Little League Team in their towns made good sense for their businesses and expanded their customer base? What if small business failure rates were much lower that 5:1 and that most Small Business Loans were paid off and not in default? What if we took all the small business people and helped them understand the value of networking? What if no one had to lose their nest egg simply for chasing their American Dream of owning their own small busi
FINAL REPORT & PRESENTATION
Begin your final report with an executive overview of the Risk Assessment Project. This will explain the objectives of the project, what was in scope, and what approach was used. Then provide a summary review of potential hazards.
CREATION OF EXECUTIVE REPORT
The findings from the Risk Assessment will form the basis for the final report. The purpose is to provide senior management with enough information to make them comfortable in endorsing the recommending strategies, actions, budgets or to accept the level of risk by not implementing recovery strategies. The report should include graphs, which visually demonstrate the findings. Do not overuse the graphs. Too many graphs and reports can make reviewing the information confusing. Provide graphs for overall information on the departments, financial impact, etc.
The final report should include:
1) Previous Disruption History.
2) Risks & Vulnerabilities.
3) Preventative Measures.
4) Presenting the Results.
5) Next Steps.
The Risk Assessment process is an essential phase of Continuity Planning. The possibility of a disaster impac
You have the perfect resume finally and the interview went great. There are 40 jobs available and 50 applicants have made the final cut. You believe your chances are great, but now the Corporation wants to look at your credit rating to see what kind of employee you are going to be for them? What you ask; my credit rating, what does that have to do with anything? That is private and none of anyone else’s business right? Wrong.But do not worry yet, because many of the people also applying have horrendous credit ratings so you may be the lesser of 50 evils? So much for Resume Writing 101, now you need additional tutoring in your resume and job interview skills. You need to take the class; Resume Writing for the Wicked. Then you need to check your Credit Rating, as it is now in play and will be considered.Do not let your career go down
To be successful, any risk assessment has to concentrate on the local identifiable issues relating to the business. Before exploring other concerns, concentrate on the most realistic risks and threats that currently exist in the business environment. This can include factors such as:
1) The Nature of the Business.
2) Surrounding Area of Facility.
3) The Construction of the Facility.
4) Common Weather Patterns.
5) Technology Dependencies.
OBJECTIVES OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT
During the Risk Assessment, risks to the business will be identified and evaluated. The vulnerability of the business to these risks will be rated. You will also: 1) Identify what prevention practices are being used. 2) Define and implement safeguards to mitigate risks. 3) Conclude the overall risk to the business. 4) Build a case for strategy selections.
Once the assessment is completed, a business can make decisions regarding methods of mitigating risks. By completing a Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis, a business can implement the best strategies for Contingency Planning.
RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Despite the prevention practices utilized, potential hazards that are existent and could result in a loss to the business need to be considered. Even though the exact nature of these exposures and their consequences are tough to determine, it is valuable to conduct a risk assessment of all threats that can logically happen.
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED?
All locations and facilities should be included in the risk assessment. Surrounding businesses, local fire, police, and community utilities should also be included in the assessment. Any vendor provided service that is provided to the business should also be evaluated.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
The following steps are necessary for completing a Risk Assessment.
1) Identify Threats/ Risk and Vulnerabilities.
2) Analyze risks and determine vulnerability.
3) Identify mitigation and recovery options.
4) Evaluate and Choose Options.
There are additional steps that need to take place during this process. Some of those actions are:
1) Review Internal Plans and Policies.
2) Meet with Outside Groups.
3) Identify Assets.
4) Conduct an Insurance Review.
ASSESSING YOUR RISK
The process of identifying risks/threats, probability of occurrence, the vulnerability to each risk/threat and the potential impact that could be caused, is necessary to prepare preventative measures and create recovery strategies. Risk identification also provides a number of other advantages including:
1) Exposes previously overlooked vulnerabilities that need to be addressed by plans and procedures.
2) Identifies where preventative measures are lacking or need reevaluated.
3) Can point out the importance of contingency planning to get staff and management on board.
4) Will assist in documenting interdependencies between departments and increase communication between internal groups. Can also point out single points of failures between critical departments.
For the ease of this process, categories of risk should be created to focus the thought process. In the Risk Assessment Survey, the main categories include, Natural Risks, Man-Made (Human) Risks, and Environmental Risks. These are certainly not requirements, and should not be considered to be constraining.
The nature of a risk/threat should be determined, regardless of the type. Factors to consider should include (but not limited to):
1) Geographic Location.
2) Weather Patterns for the Area and Surrounding Areas.
3) Internal Hazards (HVAC, Facility Security, Access, etc).
4) Proximity to Local Response/Support Units.
5) External Hazards (neighboring Highways, Plants, etc).
Potential exposures may be classified as:
1) Natural Threats.
2) Man-made (human) Threats.
3) Environmental Threats.
Other steps in conducting Risk Assessment are to review following points:
1) Probability of Occurrence.
2) Vulnerability to Risk.
3) Potential Impact.
4) Preventative Measures in Place.
5) Insurance Coverage.
6) Past Experiences.
ANALYZING THE RESULTS
Once the Risk Assessment Survey and face to face interviews have been conducted, the next step is to analyze and present the results so that Executive Management can get most use of the data. Analysis can be a time-consuming and tedious process, especially with an enormous amount of data, but it is critical to the RA process.
The analysis will be the foundation for planning recommendations to senior management. The recovery strategies that need to be developed should be based on the findings of the Risk Assessment Survey and interviews, as well as the Business Impact Analysis findings.

This article is to share some of the experience gained during one of the Strategic Planning Review session. Unlike the regular Strategic Planning where several analytical tools such as PEST, 5-forces of competitions, SWOT etc. are used. But this case study is about using Benchmarking as a Strategic Planning approach. Does it worked?In regular Strategic Planning, it is fair to mention that is time consuming for team member use various tools to analyze the business and competitive environment. The choice of PEST, 5-forces or SWOT very much depends on the complexity and competitive position of the business. These tools assist us to understand the business scenarios and competitive environment as well as internal capabilities.I was in the Budget Roll-Out session conducted by one of the companies I worked with. It is a regular event at

As a small business owner you have probably prepared, at least mentally if not on paper, for the most obvious crises that can strike a business. You probably have several kinds of insurance. You have data backed up, and you have multiple forms of communication available in case something goes down. If you're really prepared you have your own possible disability covered, and you have a succession plan.Last, but certainly not least, is the potential risk that aging parents can pose to your business. If the phone were to ring tonight with the news that there is an emergency, and you are needed now, are you prepared? Do you even know what you need to know to get prepared?If you haven't given this any thought, and if your parents are still living, you may one day have an unexpected parent care situation on your hands that could put you

A business plan is a very important part of any business. It is usually drawn up before the business launches, but can also be developed after a business has already taken off. A good plan can take some time to develop but the effort you put into it will be well worth it to make your business succeed. Not many people know exactly what goes into a good business plan. What alot don't realize is that each business plan is unique to each business. Just because a Candy Shop's business plan is successful for them doesn't mean it will be successful for a Webhosting business. Though the design of the business plan may be similar, it is truly the details inside that make it work.Here is an example outline of a business I developed for Logo2D.com . This will give you an idea of some of the subjects that go into a good business plan:1.0 Execu
