  • Identify the risk - Work with teams in each sector and ask 'what if...happened?'
  • Assess the risk - What are the chances of the risk happening? What are the consequences to the company?

How support your Risk Management Plan;

  • Monitor and review - Regularly review your plan and ensure control measures are in place. Continuously train and test your staff to ensure that they know what to do should a risk occur. Your Risk management Plan should be part of your business process.

Business training

When setting up and running a business, there are many aspects to consider in getting a product/service to market profitably.

Technical skills enable the development of the product/service. These are supported by skills such as marketing and sales, branding, processes, understanding your customer etc., that are essential in attracting and maintaining the right customer.

For business people to grow their companies, they always think of increasing staff to help grow the business. Since that isn’t always easy, there is a big need to find alternatives for their businesses growth. Experts suggest a number of recommendations that do not need necessarily to hire new staff and consequently spend more money for that growth. Entrepreneurs can still build the capacity of their businesses without incurring more expenses for the growth.

  2. Adopt a growth mindset - and share it with your staff. Is your business capable of growth and improvement?
  3. Invest in training for your human resources - especially for the key people who make the most difference;

  5. Flesh out and document key processes - clear, documented processes ensure that quality products/services are produced every time. Are these present in your company? Are they being used and and continuously improved?
