The plan includes prompt ideas for developing a risk register and demonstrates how to document identified risks with probability, impact, and specific management actions.

Creating a risk management plan is an approach that:  \n􀁸 recognises risk  \n􀁸 considers the likely probability of the risk occurring  \n􀁸 identifies the likely impact should the risk occur and  \n􀁸 describes how the risk will be managed.  \nWhen identifying the risks your organisation faces it can help to think about these in broad risk categories:  \n􀁸 Strategic (risks that influence the organisation's strategic aims)  \n􀁸 Operational (day-to-day risks)  \n􀁸 Project (project management-related risks)  \nPrompts are also useful when you are developing your risk plan:  \nFailure to... Loss of... Concentration of...  \nNon-compliance with... Lack of... Reduction of...  \nConflict between... Inability to... Inappropriate...  \nReliance on... Disruption to... Inadequate...  \nIncrease in... Delay in...  \nA simple Risk Management Plan example is attached (an editable version can be downloaded from CommunityNet Aotearoa) . The plan contains example risks-you can adapt or replace these to suit your organisation.  \nOnce you have your plan in place regular review, at least annually, is important to keep the plan current.  \nSee CommunityNet for other risk management resources:  \n[https://community.net.nz/resources/community-resource-kit/2-7-planning-/](https://community.net.nz/resources/community-resource-kit/2-7-planning-/)[ ](https://community.net.nz/resources/community-resource-kit/2-7-planning-/)[https://community.net.nz/resources/nzntrust/volunteer-management-toolkit-3/](https://community.net.nz/resources/nzntrust/volunteer-management-toolkit-3/)  \nYour Organisation-Risk Management Plan  \n\n| Identified Risk | Probability\u003Cbr>(low, medium, high) | Impact\u003Cbr>(low, medium, high) | How will we manage this risk? |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Loss of significant funder | Medium | High | 􀁸 varied funding portfolio\u003Cbr>􀁸 focus on delivering contractual outputs\u003Cbr>􀁸 robust assessment of need/opportunities\u003Cbr>􀁸 regular engagement with funders to maintain strong relationships\u003Cbr>􀁸 reserves in place to provide buffer\u003Cbr>􀁸 annual budget |\n| Loss of significant contractor/s | Low | High | 􀁸 succession strategy\u003Cbr>􀁸 good documentation to support administration and financial processes\u003Cbr>􀁸 values-based approach to engaging with contractors |\n| Loss of trustees | Low | Medium | 􀁸 skills based Trustee recruitment strategy and trustee succession process\u003Cbr>􀁸 clear recruitment process in Trust deed |\n| Public commentary creates negative backlash | Low | Medium | 􀁸 clear mission and purpose behind the Trust\u003Cbr>􀁸 robust processes for framing commentaries\u003Cbr>􀁸 challenge and critical commentary is part of the Trust's mission\u003Cbr>􀁸 media policy in place\u003Cbr>􀁸 ensure community support for work the Trust is undertaking |\n| Significant loss of IT access undermines continuity of organisation | Low | High | 􀁸 cloud based file and email storage\u003Cbr>􀁸 security/access processes in place to limit security risks\u003Cbr>􀁸 contractual arrangements and SLAs with technical specialists to support our website, including regular backups processes, virtual machine management, patches and upgrades |\n| Cyber security risks | Medium | High | 􀁸 ensure our website has current privacy and usage policies in place\u003Cbr>􀁸 ensure any personal details we store are stored securely and databases are separated from applications to control access\u003Cbr>􀁸 ensure all websites have SSL certificates in place |","cbCaid85vd8QtHcb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid85vd8QtHcb","pdf",347334,"English","# Example Risk Management Plan\n## Identifying and categorising risks\n## Prompts to develop the risk plan\n## Risk register template\n## Example risk entries","[{\"question\":\"What are the first steps to create a risk management plan?\",\"answer\":\"Consider possible risks, identify them, recognize each risk, assess the likely probability, identify likely impact, and describe how each risk will be managed.\"},{\"question\":\"How can an organisation categorise the risks it faces?\",\"answer\":\"Use broad risk categories such as strategic (linked to strategic aims), operational (day-to-day risks), and project (project management-related risks).\"},{\"question\":\"Why is regular review important after the plan is in place?\",\"answer\":\"Regular review, at least annually, keeps the plan current and helps ensure risk management remains effective as circumstances change.\"}]","Example Risk Management Plan - simple template for identifying and managing risks | PDF"]
