2 How are risks linked to objectives?

[@AntuNeelesh]

Yes, we say "something" is at RISK. And that something is OBJECTIVE !! And RISK is effect of uncertainty on objectives that matter.

[@Risk-Doctor]

Exactly right, thanks!

Objective: have a high-quality (Audio, Visual ) video. Having an unqualified media team. Risk: losing Audio! Happened: twice!

[@Risk-Doctor]

Yes, I know! I'm so sorry about this. But there's a backup/contingency plan - use the subtitles or the transcript function!

So financial risks are risks that affect the finance... For me, I was considering the qualifier to be for the root cause of the risk [not the effect]; like scope (change) risk, resource (outsourcing) risk, schedule risk... Guess there are many ways to categorize risks.

[@Risk-Doctor]

Thanks Simão. You're right that risks can be categorised in many ways, including both cause and effect. In my experience, terms like "financial risk, environmental risk, safety risk etc." relate to the type of effect. But I'm sure other people probably do it differently.

Well Explained

[@Risk-Doctor]

Thank you Kareena, I appreciate your encouragement.

If risks are defined top down and managed bottom up, then are not corporate risks the sum of all the aggregate risks?

[@Risk-Doctor]

Thanks for this question Ariane. In this video I say that risks are managed bottom up, but this dies not mean that all the lower-level risks can be added up to define the total risk eposure at the next level. Risks at any intermediate level in the organisation incldue some risks from lower down that are escalated, other similar lower-level risks that are aggregated, plus risks specifically from the intermediate level itself, and maybe also risks passed down from above. I hope this clarifies the situation for you.
