— and considers risk through 4 "lenses" or perspectives —

1. Strategic (risk posed to achieving the long-term strategic goals or "future state vision" of the organization)

3. Project (risk posed to the success of short to medium term change initiatives)

Layered across these concepts and perspectives are 8 principals:

8. Achieves measurable value

For Risk Management to be effective, risks need to be:

•  Identified: Considering uncertainties that would affect the achievement of objectives within the context of a particular organisational activity, and then describing/communicating them in order to ensure a common understanding
•  Assessed: Estimating the probability, impact and proximity of individual risks so they can be prioritized. Understanding the overall level of risk (risk exposure) associated with the organisational activity
•  Controlled: Planning appropriate responses to risks, assigning owners and actionees. Implementing, monitoring and controlling these responses

The framework can be used across all types of business sectors, and can be scaled to suit all sizes. The effective management of risk can make a considerable difference to both an organization's bottom line and in its reputation in terms of how its governance is perceived in the market place in which it operates.

The guide also emphasizes the importance of communication and stakeholder engagement throughout the risk management process. It provides practical steps for embedding risk management into the organizational culture to ensure long-term sustainability.
