Assess Your Business’ Risk Tolerance
Do a gut check on how much risk your organization can handle, its risk attitude, and how much additional risk it’s willing to take on. It’s important to do an honest assessment of your leaders, your staff, and your systems to determine how adaptable they are and how much risk they can absorb before cracking under pressure.
Layer in the hard costs of missing goals as well as the soft costs, such as reputation management. With that background, consider how much additional risk your business is willing to take on and create a range of tolerance, along with metrics for measuring it.
