Risk Management Practice

Risk Management is ultimately at the heart of every decision you and everyone in your organization make every day. Successful Risk Management is successful Strategy Execution, and the risks that matter the most are the ones affecting your day-to-day operations: Operational Risks.

At Archistry, we believe looking at strategy execution as operational risk management is the only way to ensure consistent execution of your strategy.

Why?

Because ultimately, the people in your organization matter the most; they’re the ones who manage risk, and the collective result of the decisions your people make defines your organization’s ultimate success or failure in strategy execution.

The biggest problem today with successful risk management also comes from people: fear. We are conditioned to think only of the downside of risk, and not treat it as a balance of both positive and negative uncertainty. Positive uncertainty defines the areas of opportunity for excellence. It shows you where you can execute quicker or better, and it allows you to leverage your capabilities in ways you hadn’t previously considered.

Archistry helps you see risk differently and shows you how to recognize and embrace risk management for what it is—how people evaluate alternatives and make decisions. We show you how to create strategies for truly accountable risk management within your organization and to understand the full impacts when something goes wrong so you have time to act before it is too late.

Operational Risk Management is how you consistently and accountably manage risk across all other areas, and it gives you the best framework possible to enable successful strategy execution.
