Balanced Risk

In the years that we have been advising on risk management, one of the clearest messages is that it needs to be proportionate to the needs of the business. This survey looks at a number of dimensions of risk management and you are invited to respond based on your position in the organisation and your knowledge of how the organisation works. There are no right or wrong answers, there are just your perceptions. We can work with a single response or a series of responses from within the organisation, but if you want a series of different people to answer from the same organisation, then you will need to contact us (Contact via Website) and there will be a small charge.

All responses will be confidential and we will not tell anyone how you responded unless you first give us permission. Individual responses will be collected together to see if we can begin to identify any mega trends, but individual responses will never be identifiable.

Once you have completed the survey, we will prepare a bespoke report for you with some recommendations for what we think you should be addressing next (if anything) and our suggestions as to how you might go about that.

* 1. Thinking about risk management in your business from your perspective, rate how closely these statements reflect your organisation. Don’t think about any of them for too long, your first impressions are just fine.
