Forecasting the Risk

Before, handling any situation, there is a need for assessing its nature and intensity. This is why forecasting a risk forms a preliminary activity for the risk associated planning process. These forecasts help in predicting the risk that can arise through the various factors in and outside the business like operations, human capital, political environment, legal resolutions, global economy, etc. These factors are analyzed for their frequency and intensity and then the process goes on further.

Risk Indexing

Risk indexing is a calculative factor that figures out the ratio of the risk-based upon the sustainability and handling factors that the organization or individual has. It then categorizes the risk factor on a certain scale based upon the obtained ratio. The practice helps in identifying the threat level and handling capacity for the risk.

Options Evaluation

Once the risk is completely identified of its nature and intensity, measures are taken for operational handling of the forthcoming situation that comprises it. These options primarily include risk reduction, retentions, avoidance, sharing, and transfer. The option that allows maximum mitigation of risks at the minimum possible effort, time, and cost are considered and opted for.
