Calculating Risk Exposure

Use the Risk Exposure Calculator found in the Toolkit Exercise 10.5 of your Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit to assess the risk of a project with which you are familiar, and respond to the following:

• Does the organization have an appropriate level of risk taking given the nature of its business? Does it play it too safe, act about right, or take excessive risks?
• Which risk factors do you feel are contributing most to the overall risk levels?
• How does the process of completing the risk calculator help you to think about what can be done to make the levels of risk more appropriate and manageable?
