Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a continuous, proactive, and systematic approach to identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring, and communicating risks that could pose danger, harm, or loss to the organization. 
ERM informs strategic planning and enhances decision-making.

Support

Our ERM Specialist is here to support you with coaching, education, and facilitation in key areas such as risk assessment, risk reviews, and managing SHA's risk register. 
Additionally, you can visit the ERM SharePoint Site, a centralized platform offering a wide range of tools, information, and resources tailored specifically to Enterprise Risk Management.

When to contact ERM
  • New Projects or Initiatives: Before launching a new project, product, or initiative, consult Enterprise Risk Management to assess potential risks and ensure proper risk mitigation strategies are in place.
  • Strategic Planning: During the strategic planning process, involve Enterprise Risk Management to identify potential risks that could affect long-term goals and to create a risk-aware strategy.
  • Risk Assessments: If your department or team is conducting a risk assessment, we can provide expertise and tools to ensure a thorough and effective evaluation.
  • Emerging Risks: When you become aware of new or emerging risks, whether internal or external, that could affect your organization, it's important to engage Enterprise Risk Management to stay ahead of potential threats.
