Context and Challenges

All organisations have business objectives on performance and growth that must be met or exceeded whilst managing risk. The only internationally recognised standard to achieve these goals while minimising risk is Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to ISO31000. ERM Principles, Frameworks and Processes are used to manage the risks and opportunities that materially influence each business objective at all levels from the site to the boardroom.

 

A holistic ERM approach encompasses the real estate of the organisation, projects impacting the real estate, the provision of facilities, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Within the ERM framework, Business Criticality determines the mission-critical systems and processes that are necessary for the success of a business. Also, Business Criticality determines the vendor or landlord service levels, incident and crisis response priorities for Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery.

ERM drives an organisation forward to:

Meet and exceed business objectives

Define the risk appetite and reduce risk

Increase performance and revenue

Reduce costs

Reduce incident frequency and impact

Achieve compliance

Ensure business continuity
