Operational Risk (OpRisk) - Simply Put |
|
|
|
Every workplace experiences risk (a.k.a. uncertainty of loss), but few workplaces have effective systems for managing the wide variety of risks they experience.
The operative idea behind Active Agenda is very pragmatic and simple: Collect more data, in order to better identify, understand, and address problems. This may seem like an obvious concept, but it is not a common practice. This is especially true when it comes to the topic of health and human safety, and to the related goal of reducing operational loss. In fact, many workplaces use programs, measurements, or business processes that inadvertently reduce the amount of data collected about workplace risk.
Current systems for these purposes are usually cumbersome (paper-driven, bureaucratic) or improvised (Excel, Access). They are often disconnected (each being confined to a particular department or location), and reporting is often manual and therefore slow. Commercial software products do exist, but they tend to be overly specialized and fail to solve similar problems occurring in multiple departments.
Active Agenda is a general-purpose risk management database and collaboration platform. It addresses a staggering number of topics. It is highly customizable to suit the needs of any particular organization. Information is highly cross-referenced at the detail level, yet can be summarized, charted, and analyzed in a myriad ways.
