ISO 31000 – Risk management
ISO 31000:2009 sets out principles, a framework and a process for the management of risk that are applicable to any type of organization in public or private sector. It does not mandate a "one size fits all" approach, but rather emphasises the fact that the management of risk must be tailored to the specific needs and structure of the particular organization.
LinkedIn group carries out global survey of ISO 31000
Deadline extended to 30 November 2011
The first global survey of ISO 31000:2009, Risk management – Principles and guidelines, is set to kick off on 17 October this year. The aim of the survey is to gauge how ISO 31000 is perceived by risk practitioners across all sectors, and to provide input for the preparation of the future ISO 31004, Risk management – Guidance for the implementation of ISO 31000, expected to be published in 2013.
Members of more than 70 risk management associations around the world are invited to participate in the study, which is being run through an independent (non ISO) initiative by the LinkedIn discussion group on ISO 31000.
Issued in November 2009, ISO 31000 provides principles and generic guidelines on risk management. It can be used by any public, private or community enterprise, association, group or individual and is not specific to any industry or sector.
"This is the first time the global risk management community active across all fields, sectors, industries and services is being invited to participate in an international survey on ISO 31000. It is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and concerns about the ISO standard on risk management," said Alex Dali, moderator of the LinkedIn ISO 31000 Risk Management Standard Group.
The survey will run from 17 October until 30 November 2011. You are encouraged to participate through your risk management association or LinkedIn group.

Risk management - New work reinforces a solid toolbox

The recent economic downturn has spurred many to comment on the role of risk in the current financial crisis. Many financial commentators believe that the financial sector did not adequately consider or wage risk, particularly in mortgage lending in the USA.
