Risk is everywhere and in everything that we do. As they say, without risk, there’s no reward. So it is key for a successful business to understand how to manage risk. The successful management of risk, depends on how we measure each risk and how we act upon them. If we are to avoid all the risks that a business might get exposed to, we will not stand a chance to enjoy many of its pleasures and successes. Taking calculated steps, whilst knowing and doing what’s required to absorb the impact of possible risks, leads to greater rewards.
So yes, some risks can be tolerated because the frequency of them happening is lesser, and the severity of the impact is quite low. In other words, retaining a risk of this calibre, doesn’t cripple the company from operating.
