Our Skills
Terrace Consulting has developed a robust process of risk management. Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of
risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical
application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of
opportunities. Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, threats from project failures (at any phase in design, development,
production, or sustainment life-cycles), legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attack from an
adversary, or events of uncertain or unpredictable root-cause. Several risk management standards have been developed including the
Project Management Institute, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards. Methods, definitions
and goals vary widely according to whether the risk management method is in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial
processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety.
The strategies to manage threats (uncertainties with negative consequences) typically include transferring the threat to another party, avoiding the threat, reducing the negative effect or probability of the threat, or even accepting some or all of the potential or actual consequences of a particular threat, and the opposites for opportunities (uncertain future states with benefits).
