While some might think risk management is dull and pessimistic, the practice is critical in today’s volatile world. To better prepare for change or enact “positive risk management,” three key actions must be applied—proportionality, celebrating success, and protecting performance. Proportionality means that risks should be met with appropriate controls—small risks require minimal attention, while significant risks deserve a thorough focus. The article stresses the need to prioritize rare but severe incidents over frequent minor ones, as these have the most substantial impact. Celebrating success is another aspect of positive risk management. Instead of solely focusing on past failures, organizations should also analyze the causes of their successes. This approach inspires enthusiasm and reinforces winning behaviors.
