- Taking a Proactive Approach To Enterprise Risk Management
-
- Risk management is an integral part of any organization. Whether be it public sector or private sector entity, large or small business, non-profit seeking or profit-seeking organization; risks still exist and need to be dealt with. Every decision or choice we make, either presents a risk or an opportunity for us. For example, as a small business wanting to improve customer service by answering queries as promptly as you can, you might choose to install a 24 hours Telephone System that answers customer queries after office hours as your solution.
