Risk Management
vs.
Business Resilience....
...what’s the difference?
Risk Management Philosophy:
All Management
is
Risk Management!
What is a Risk?
Risk is defined as:
“…the effect of uncertainty on objectives”
(AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines)
What is Risk Management?
“Coordinated activities to direct and control an
organisation with regard to risk”
(AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines)
What’s the Difference between
Risk & Uncertainty?
• Uncertainty
– Things that will happen… uncertainty about their
magnitude
• Risk
– Things that may or may not happen
– Have a probability of occurrence & an impact if they
happen
What is the Relationship between
a Hazard and a Risk?
RISK = [HAZARD] x [EXPOSURE]
Hazard

What is an Opportunity
or Upside Risk?
• The occurrence of a favourable event that is
due to:
– Changes in the environment
– Risks that were managed efficiently and effectively
• A chance to save time or money or improve
capability
• A chance to sell a positive message
Business Resilience
“It is not the strongest or most
intelligent that survive, it is the
most adaptable to change”
Charles Darwin, 1809 -1882
Defining Resilience...
“The adaptive capacity of an
organisation in a complex and
changing environment.”
Source: ISO Guide 73
Defining Resilience...
“Resilience is an organisation’s state
of being resulting from the
management of uncertainty in a
complex adaptive system. An
indicator of this state of being is an
organisations adaptive capacity.”
Source: RMIA Resilience White Paper, 2009
There are 4 different types of
Resilience:
1) Individual Resilience
2) Community Resilience
3) Organisational Resilience
4) Sector Resilience
For example…
Individual Resilience
•
Healthy or weak, support from Family & Friends, educated or ignorant, etc.
Community Resilience
•
Rural vs. Urban, Transportation, Internet access, Electricity, Bushfires, etc.
Organisational Resilience
•
Proactive vs. reactive leadership, adaptive culture, survival vs. injury/death,
profit or loss, etc.
Sector Resilience
•
Global Financial Crisis or business opportunity?
Reference: Page 5
What are the essential
elements of a resilient
organisation?
“Resilience arises from a
combination of culture and
attitude, process and
framework.”
Are these practices embedded into
your organisation’s policies, processes,
systems, values & culture?
