Why do we need Risk Management?
The only alternative to risk management is crisis management and crisis management is much more expensive, time consuming and embarrassing. JAMES LAM, Enterprise Risk Management, Wiley Finance © 2003
Without good risk management practices, government cannot manage its resources effectively. Risk management means more than preparing for the worst; it also means taking advantage of opportunities to improve services or lower costs.
Sheila Fraser, Auditor General of Canada

Why bother with RM?
Increase risk awareness – What could affect the achievement of objectives? What could change? What could go wrong? What could go right?
Increase understanding of risk – sensitivities. What makes my risks increase/decrease/disappear?
Promote a “healthy” risk culture – It’s safe to talk about risk. Open and transparent.
