Organizations and industries
experience the impact of underlying risks. Whether political, market,
financial, environmental, operational, competition, management, or legal risks,
they could cause significant impacts on a business if not properly managed.
Risk management entails pointing out the possible risks, assessing and
analyzing the potential risks, and designing a risk management system to
mitigate or reduce the potential impact. Therefore, risk management is a
continuous process, and the organization has to monitor its operations to
identify potential risks and come up with management strategies to avoid acting
reactively. A risk management system involves five steps: risk identification
in the organization processes, risk analysis by designing a framework based on
operations, ranking and risk evaluation to define assessment tools, determining
the relevant tools using the PESTLE technique, and monitoring review to enhance
continuity. The various steps of designing and implementing a risk management
system can be applied in the JD Sports Fashion PLC company to enhance the
company's sustainability.
