About M_o_R® (Management of Risk)

Risk management incorporates all the activities required to identify and control an organisation’s exposure to risk. This can be at a corporate/strategic level, where managing risk should be an intrinsic part of achieving sustainable growth in stakeholder value. It can also be at an operational level, where it must inform day-to-day activities so as to protect and maximise profitability, maintain and enhance customer service, and continually improve product quality.

M_o_R, or Management of Risk, is a framework, developed by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), which helps organisations take informed decisions about risk in a balanced and consistent manner. It is based upon proven best practice and a broad historical body of knowledge and embodies a methodical, yet pragmatic approach to risk analysis and management.
