Operational Risk Assessments, Consultation and ISO 22301 Continuity Management in the UK

Risk Identification.
Evaluation.
Prioritisation.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision defines operational risk as:

“The risk of direct or indirect loss due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.”  Basel (December 2010)

The types of risks associated with operational risk relate to business interruption; employee error; product failure; health and safety; IT failure; fraud; loss of key employees; litigation; and loss of suppliers. Operational risk can generally be controlled by an organisation through risk management practices.

An operational risk assessment is a tool or process to identify risks and benefits and then determine the best course of action in any given situation. As with risk management, conducting an operational risk assessment should be done at all levels of the planning process of a project, not when circumstances or events arise. This is the very purpose of risk management – to identify and prevent problems from occurring.

An operational risk assessment consists of the following steps:

1.  Identify the potential risks that could or will occur.
2. Assess the risks using risk quantification.
3. Analyse the risk to identify ways to prevent or reduce it.
4. Decide which solutions you want to implement.
5. Implement the solution.
6. Constantly review in order to ensure that the chosen solution is working and will continue to do so.
