Simplify Operational Risk

Answer 3 questions to accurately identify every operational risk for your fund

Context First

The old way involves identifying a risk and then adding the context, it is something you do every so often. The new way, starts with the context and asks you to identify a gap. It is about making it quick and easy anytime you think something is not right.

Risks, Issues, Changes and Exceptions are gaps. With teams operating in different time-zones and with different points of view adding context and being consistent can be a real challenge. Knowing what questions to ask so everyone can participate can also be difficult. A Digital Operating Model provides the end to end context and is accessible to everyone who needs to know. That means your teams are just 3 questions away from accurately identifying every Operational Risk...Issue...Change...Exception.

What is happening?

What should be happening?

The objective of the second question is to establish a gap by identifying what should be happening

What is the solution?

The final question is to get feedback on the proposed resolution by identifying how the gap can be closed
