The combination of personality traits, experiences, and social context is a core component of each person’s identity.
According to the Economic Times, Black Swan Theory refers to those events which are difficult to predict in the normal course of business. They are random, unexpected, but high-impact events. These events are considered outliers because there is no past data which can point towards their occurrence in the foreseeable future. There is no scientific model which can predict these events. These events occur not just in business, politics, and nature but in stock markets as well. The events are of high magnitude and can be classified as positive or negative black swan events. A positive black swan event would be the one which has a positive outcome. For example, the Internet helped us to get connected to almost anybody across the world. Nobody thought about it, but the benefits are massive and increasing by the day. A negative black swan event would be one which has a negative outcome or large magnitude.
According to the World Economic Forum, a global risk is the possibility of the occurrence of an event or condition which, if it occurs, could cause a significant negative impact on several countries or industries. Examples include adverse outcomes of technological advances, erosion of social cohesion, climate action failure, severe mental health deterioration, digital inequality and others.
The cultural, social, policy and economic environment affect the risk decision of individuals and organizations.
Risk appetite is the amount of risk that an organisation is willing to seek or accept in the pursuit of its long-term objectives. The word “appetite” brings connotations of food, hunger and satisfying one’s needs. We think that this metaphor is not always helpful in understanding the phrase “risk appetite”. When those two words appear together we think it is more appropriate to think in terms of ‘fight or flight’ responses to perceived risks. Most animals, including human beings, have a ‘fight or flight’ response to risk. In humans, this can be overruled by our cognitive processes. Our interpretation of risk appetite is that it represents a corporate version of exactly the same instincts and cognitive processes. However, since these instincts are not” hardwired“ in our corporate “nervous and sensory” systems we use risk management as a surrogate.
Risk culture is a term describing the values, beliefs, knowledge and understanding about risk shared by a group of people with a common purpose, in particular the employees of an organisation or of teams or groups within an organisation. This applies whether the organisations are private companies, public bodies or not-for-profits and wherever they are in the world. IRM proposes the use of a simple A-B-C approach (Institute of Risk Management, 2012) as helpful in understanding how culture, and hence risk culture, works in practice.
How risky you judge something to be.
Risk Management Maturity is the level of skills, knowledge and attitudes displayed by people in the organisation, combined with the level of sophistication of risk management processes and systems in managing risk within the organisation. Many organisations have developed risk management maturity models which cover a variety of attributes. Some address the maturity of risk management and control processes, some consider the culture of risk management, and some consider the preparedness of the organisation to face up to (or be susceptible to) disaster. The risk maturity model by Hillson (1997) suggests that risk management can be categorised into groups ranging from no formal process to fully integrated risk management. It has four levels of risk maturity: naïve, novice, normalised and neutral, in the order of lowest to highest.
Risk Proximity is how close the risk is, to causing impact at any single given moment in time
Risk Velocity is how fast the risk can cause an impact at any single given moment in time
Any financial asses whose return is not guaranteed, is typically used to describe stocks, high-yield bonds, commodities, and other assets whose prices are volatile.
According to Michele Wucker's book, a “gray rhino” is a highly probable, high-impact yet neglected threat: kin to both the elephant in the room and the improbable and unforeseeable black swan. Gray rhinos are not random surprises but occur after a series of warnings and visible evidence. The bursting of the housing bubble in 2008, the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, the new digital technologies that upended the media world, and the fall of the Soviet Union…all were evident well in advance.
Negative impacts from international relations uncertainty or unfavourable domestic political situations deteriorate the environment where the business operates.
Volatility in key economic adds to uncertainty in economic value chains and financial markets.
Disruptive policies or illegal activities impede trading in goods or services, inflicting damage to economies and businesses.
The activities to establish superiority over others in the industry negatively affects the operating performance of companies that are more vulnerable.
The full range of risks could impact, either positively or negatively, the ability of the organization to achieve its long-term objectives.
Political and criminal deterioration in society, change in ideology, leadership and regulation of authorities, and politically charged conflicts within or between nation-states threaten business operations and prospects.
Targeted cyber attacks, critical infrastructure collapse, direct and indirect industrial accidents and the inability to keep up with advances in technology.
The risk associated with acute natural hazard events, climate change, and human interaction with and exploitation of the environment.
Socioeconomic trends in society, including evolving preferences, social norms, and demographics, as well as disease prevalence and developments in public.
Threats from compliance with existing and emerging regulation, litigation and strategic and tactical management decisions.
