Risk Management as a Challenge and a Key Element for Corporate Success

Summary Excerpt Details

In case of an unpredictable event, circumspect and aimed action is asked. In advance, goal-oriented precautions have to be met to represent information-streams and to enforce training - and education-measures.
In the event-case, the effect as well as the size of damages can be minimized at persons, real values, the environment and the neighbourhood. The reputation of the company, its co-workers, business partners as well as the authorities and the population will be persistently and positively influenced by positive and clear directed action.
The a.m. statements, courses and evaluation-systems should serve with support and guarantee that aimed action leads such situations and possible and unforeseeable damages can be reduced.
The management has to fix business-politics and define a lasting risk-strategy that has to be communicated to all co-workers. It is even though important that the goals are precisely and unequivocally defined in the business lines, not compete together and doesn't stand in conflict to each other. For the achievement of the strategic goals, it is decisive that the appointed goals are marketable and realizable.
