What is risk management?

Risk management helps you identify, analyse and manage potential risks and implement actions so that you can ultimately reach the goals you have set - in short, an effective way to prevent problems and improve outcomes.

Why does it become extra important in a recession?

Risk management is a perfect tool for facing a recession because it helps you make sure to be well prepared to face the challenges and risks that may arise when the economy deteriorates.

By anticipating, identifying and managing risks that may affect your bottom line, you can prevent problems that may arise during financial difficulties before they have even occurred.

This means that you can continue to focus on your business and improve your business despite a difficult financial situation.

How do we succeed?

In order to be successful in risk management, you need to find out what risks may arise in your business, evaluate them, develop action plans to deal with them and of course follow them up regularly.

You must also ensure that the necessary resources are in place to manage risks, take care of customer interests and adapt your processes to meet changes in market conditions and customer needs.

If we've learned anything from Covid it's that everything can change overnight — then it's good to be prepared.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes that companies make when trying to manage risk are that they are not adequately prepared, do not value risks correctly, and do not adequately take into account the interests of customers.

By using smart IT tools for risk management, you can avoid these mistakes and make it easier to be prepared for a recession.

Not working risk-based means that we often miss opportunities that can increase our potential - that's why risk management is very important.

If you do not understand the area and manage risks correctly, it can lead to the loss of valuable opportunities and contribute to great financial damage.

Having and working based on risk-based thinking is also a requirement to be able to certify the company according to ISO 9001. But honestly, we can probably say that it is a requirement for any company, even without a certification.
