RISK VALUE: DEFINITIONS
Probability: A risk is an event that
"may" occur.
Impact: impact varies in terms of
cost and impact of a critical factor.

HOW DO I ESTIMATE THE RISK?
Identified Risk: Rent may increase
Percentage Likelihood that the rent will
increase: 80%
Cost to Business: $500,000
Risk Value
0.80 (Probability of Event) x $500,000 (Cost
of Event) = $400,000 (Risk Value)12

ANOTHER WAY TO ESTIMATE THE RISKSLow impact/low probability Often
ignore them.
Low impact/high probability Cope.
Reduce likelihood they'll occur.
High impact/low probability High
importance, unlikely to happen.
High impact/high probability
