Bridgehouse GAPP Wheel: Risk Management
This segment examines how effectively your board identifies, monitors and responds to risk, ensuring that governance supports resilience and informed decision-making.
What you’ll get:
A practical assessment of your organisation’s approach to managing risk, from day-to-day operational threats to long-term strategic uncertainty.
We’ll look at how risk is defined, tracked and reported to the board and whether your governance structures enable early intervention and oversight.
You’ll receive tailored recommendations to strengthen risk governance and improve board-level assurance.
Best for:
- Organisations entering a growth phase or undergoing major change
- Those working in an external environment that in constantly changing and emerging.
- Boards preparing for audit, merger or external scrutiny
- Teams managing complex service delivery, funding or reputational risks
- Boards that want to be more proactive and forward-looking in risk oversight
We’ll assess:
- Whether a formal risk management framework is in place and regularly reviewed and owned by the Board
- Whether your risks are linked and aligned to the delivery of your strategic plan
- The culture of the organisation towards risk management and the embeddedness
- How frequently risk management is reviewed at Board / Committee level
- Whether the risk register is designed to fully assure the Board that risks are being effectively managed and mitigated
- How clearly risk appetite and thresholds are defined
What we need from you
- Your risk policy, risk framework or any supporting documentation
- A copy of your risk register (or summary version if confidential)
- Any recent board or committee papers that include risk updates
- Information on how risks are escalated and reviewed at board level
- Any recent changes to your risk approach following audits, events or external feedback
Outcome
This segment equips boards to engage more meaningfully with risk, improving transparency, foresight and accountability – key to making governance a strategic asset rather than a compliance task.
