Risk analysis is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks to minimize their

impact on an organization or project. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to conducting a basic


risk analysis:

1. Identify Risks

 What could go wrong?


 List potential risks or threats that could affect your project, process, or business.
These could include financial, operational, environmental, or reputational risks.
 Use tools like brainstorming, checklists, expert judgment, and historical data to help
identify risks.

2. Assess the Impact and Likelihood

 How likely is it to happen?


 What would the impact be if it did happen?
 For each identified risk, assess the likelihood (probability) and the potential impact
(severity).
o Likelihood: Rate on a scale from Low to High (e.g., 1-5 or
Low/Medium/High).
o Impact: Evaluate how serious the consequences would be (e.g., financial loss,
project delay, safety issues).

3. Prioritize Risks

 Which risks are most critical to address?


 Create a risk matrix to categorize risks based on their likelihood and impact (e.g.,
high risk, medium risk, low risk).
 Prioritize risks that have both high likelihood and high impact for immediate
attention.

4. Develop Mitigation Strategies

 How can you minimize or avoid these risks?


 For high-priority risks, create action plans to:
o Avoid: Alter plans to eliminate the risk.
o Mitigate: Reduce the likelihood or impact of the risk (e.g., implementing
controls, safety measures).
o Transfer: Shift the risk to a third party (e.g., insurance or outsourcing).
o Accept: Decide to accept the risk if the cost of mitigation is too high or the
risk is low.

5. Monitor and Review

 How will you track risks over time?


 Continuously monitor risks and their mitigation strategies to ensure they remain
effective. Review the risk analysis periodically (e.g., quarterly or annually) and
update it as necessary.
