  • Episode 17: Basics Of Risk Management
    Jan 27 2025

    Welcome to all you Leaders In Strategy! 🌟 Recently I’ve been talking a lot about Risk Management as part of Project SMART, our strategic project management toolkit. Generally the discussion has been this:

    Despite the fact they have robust, sophisticated risk management processes and procedures, the risks still seem to happen. Not just the risks that no-one’s identified. The risks that are winding them up 😤 are the ones they've anticipated but have still occurred.

    Then I got a question from a long-term listener who asked about risk tolerance in organisations. So, I thought I’d combine the two into this episode. : "Basics Of Risk Management".

    Join me as I continue Season 2 of the #LeadersInStrategyPodcast 🎙️

    In this video, I delve into the core concepts of risk management, including risk identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies that are crucial for growing your business successfully. Learn how to integrate risk management into your overall business strategy, helping you become a more proactive and resilient leader.

    These episodes feature linked previous editions, offering extended versions with a unique twist. We've trimmed out the Re-caps, Ice Breakers, Homework, and Feedback sections, focusing solely on delivering 100% strategy content!

    In this Deluxe Edition, I explain how to build a SMART Strategy

    1. SMART Strategies: I start by exploring what I mean by a SMART Strategy - Strategic, Management, Alignment, Resources & Target

    2. Key Influences: I then discuss the factors that will shape your strategy, both Internal (those you can influence) and External (those you can't!).

    3. Case Study: I use the subject of Bid Strategies as an example to pull together the various aspects of a SMART Strategy.

    4. Action Plans: Finally I explain why it’s essential your SMART Strategy contains actions.

    I would be thrilled to hear your thoughts on these topics.
