Imagine

Imagine a large, complex, regulated organisation.

Now imagine placing a multi-dimensional model of that organisation on your work-bench.

It becomes fully transparent.

Now examine the organisation from multiple angles, and through different lenses.

And fully extend the model up and down the value chain.

RISGRA® is the Enterprise Risk lens.

The RISGRA® lens allows you to view in context: each inter-connected risk in the Risk Universe of the organisation;

and each risk management Concept and Construct used to identify, evaluate and manage risk, in all its forms,

both within the Corporate perimeter, and along the value chain.

Explore RISGRA® hyper-graph capabilities, including causal modelling and integration of temporal data here.

The sociologist Charles Perrow* identified two aspects of systems that make them vulnerable to unexpected failures: complexity and tight coupling.

  • A complex system is an elaborate web with many intricately connected parts, and much of what goes on in it is invisible to the naked eye.

  • A tightly coupled system is unforgiving: there is little slack in it, and the margin for error is slim.
