The four principles of risk management
1. Identify the risks – what’s likely to go wrong?
2. Assess the risk – what are the chances of it going wrong, what could happen, does it matter?
3. Reduce/eliminate the risk – what can you do about it
4. Cost the risk – what are the costs of getting it right v. the cost of getting it wrong?
