The Complete Guide to Business Risk Management

Any company that wants to be in business has to ask three main questions. 1) What are the worst things that could happen to us? 2) How likely are they to happen? 3) Are we taking the right steps to prevent them? This is the art of risk management, the subject of this book. In this comprehensive guide, Kit Sadgrove shows how you can identify and control the relevant threats and ensure that your company will survive. He begins by asking: What is risk? How do we assess it? and goes on to examine in detail the key danger areas, including finance, product quality, health and safety, security and the environment. With case studies, self-assessment exercises and checklists, each chapter looks systematically at what is involved and enables you to draw up action plans for improving performance and maximizing profit.
