BUSINESS PLANNING & STRATEGIC ANALYSIS
This week, we are reviewing these business management domains:
- Opportunity Analysis
- Risk Analysis
Building upon Part 2 of this four-part series, we are now getting into assessing influences and elements that directly and/or indirectly influence the organization in almost every aspect of operation, management and success.
We look at opportunities as a process not unlike risks with a similar assessment treatment. Some opportunities may look inviting and something that should be moved upon; however, it is key to understand the risks associated with those decisions including a full evaluation of the stakeholders involved in advance of action.
A good stakeholder analysis is as important as risk management. Knowing your stakeholders (internal, external, competitors, customers, regulators, etc.), is a tactical process and establishing a mitigation plan to position them where you need them. One should not underestimate the importance of this assessment and plan. Stakeholders can make or break your success in the marketplace.
Turning to risk, there are many guidelines for defining what is risk and what is not. It is this writer’s belief that if a risk (an adverse impact) with a likelihood of occurrence between 1% and 50% is a risk. If the risk has a probability of 51% or higher, it is more likely to happen than not and is no longer considered a risk. It should be treated as an ‘Issue’ with applied firm mitigation plans to either eradicate it. If that is not possible, then an acceptance plan to position the company by embracing it is necessary for minimum impact and interference with your business.
These domains are extensive and could be explored in great detail. The combination of risk, opportunity and threats work synonymously in every business. Most of the time, these are treated on the fly as part of daily routine. That is well and fine for experienced business management, however the consequential impacts are rarely clear without an investigative assessment with plans to manage them. The process does not need to be complex, however important to manage with proven processes. Should you wish to know more about these topics, we would like to hear from you.
