Firstly, our approach does not involve the ‘risk jargon’ used by some. Everything we do is grounded in our members’ practical experience.

Secondly, our approach is an holistic one, always starting with the biggest threats and opportunities faced by your organisation, rather than what may be the issue of the day in the media.

And finally, we are truly independent: we aren’t just health, safety and environment people, nor are we simply experts in quality, insurance, financial services, cyber security nor governance, compliance and audit.

Instead, we work with the very best in all these fields – and more – to bring integrated and disciplined risk decision making to your organisation.

IIRSM is first and foremost a community of individuals. We are united around a common desire to use risk management techniques to make better decisions in business, both in operations but also strategically too.

Effective risk management is about skilfully using the right tools and techniques at the right time. It’s also about people – building their competence, capturing hearts and minds, and leading well. 

It’s about informed decision making, from developing strategy, making projects happen, and also the many day to day decisions made across your business. It’s neither something new nor complicated, nor is it separate from running your business. Risk management helps you ask the right questions, assess the answers and make better decisions.

Working with employers

All businesses have always taken risks to achieve rewards. Today though, with Covid-19, climate change, constant technological evolution and the battle for economic survival and growth, this has never been truer, nor more challenging.

IIRSM can work with your organisation and your teams to help optimise risk taking, whilst protecting you from less positive outcomes. Our approach is a driver for survival, growth and resilience in business.
