Alex Sidorenko from RISK-ACADEMY talks about risk champions, their role in risk management 1 and risk management 2.
“Risk champions” can be of three types:
Official risk coordinators – employees, whose official duties include coordination of risk management processes within individual processes or business units. They are usually responsible for preparing information about risks, monitoring risk mitigation progress, organising risk management events or training. Maybe no longer need them.
Informants – employees, who have established informal, yet trusted relationships with the risk managers. They provide information about emerging risks or changes in the organisation processes or risk profile. A large network of informants is critical for risk managers to stay up-to-date on what is happening in the company.
Influencers – employees, who support the integration of risk management principles in the company’s activities and processes because it makes good business sense for the company or them personally. They will usually participate in the Risk Management Committee meetings and will support initiatives proposed by the risk managers.
“Risk champions” help to implement risk management elements in key business processes and procedures within the organisation. Usually, “risk-champions” are employees who are naturally motivated to effectively manage risks, such as employees responsible for project management, methodology, process improvement etc. For larger organisations, it may be necessary to identify “risk-champions” not only for key processes, but also for each geographical area where the company is represented.
At RISK-ACADEMY we have compiled free videos of lectures, seminars and interviews with Russian risk managers, as well as free templates and examples of the tools required for the implementation of elements of risk management in the organization of small and medium-sized businesses.
