Positive Risk Management
Negative risks are clearly of great concern to organisations. However, it is increasingly recognised that the term “risk” is often too narrowly defined. Positive risk management is primarily concerned with identifying, assessing and managing potentially beneficial outcomes.
Technique Overview
Positive Risk Management Definition
Risk is the probability that an event will occur with either negative or beneficial outcomes for a particular person or group of people. Positive risk management is primarily concerned with identifying, assessing and managing these potentially beneficial outcomes. However, some people relate positive risk management more with building an organisational culture where risk management is openly discussed and proactively managed by all stakeholders (Bisson, 2014; Thomas, 2015).
