Disruption, over-regulation and cyber threats are typical of the
major risks that management has to cope with. But until now there
hasn't been a formula to contain them. In The Risk Mitigation
Handbook, Kit Sadgrove provides practical and actionable steps you
can take to minimise the threats to your business. With over 160
checklists and a wealth of revealing case studies, this is the
first book to recommend detailed action plans. After reviewing each
risk, the author provides a list of measurable tactics necessary to
neutralise the threat. The book lists a comprehensive range of
risks that organisations face today, with a special emphasis on
business strategy, security and people management. Sadgrove also
takes a sharp look at how to reduce the risk of operational
failure, supply chain weakness and regulatory compliance. Unlike
previous books on enterprise risk, The Risk Mitigation Handbook
sets out detailed solutions rather than generic risk management
theories. The book has been carefully edited to provide fast
information for the busy senior manager. Stripped back to the bare
essentials, The Risk Mitigation Handbook gives the reader bullet
points and strategies that give you the information you need to
mitigate hundreds of risks.

Risk management and contingency planning has really come to the
fore since the first edition of this book was originally published.
Computer failure, fire, fraud, robbery, accident, environmental
damage, new regulations - business is constantly under threat. But
how do you determine which are the most important dangers for your
business? What can you do to lessen the chances of their happening
- and minimize the impact if they do happen? In this comprehensive
volume Kit Sadgrove shows how you can identify - and control - the
relevant threats and ensure that your company will survive. He
begins by asking 'What is risk?', 'How do we assess it?' and 'How
can it be managed?' He goes on to examine in detail the key danger
areas including finance, product quality, health and safety,
security and the environment. With case studies, self-assessment
exercises and checklists, each chapter looks systematically at what
is involved and enables you to draw up action plans that could, for
example, provide a defence in law or reduce your insurance premium.
The new edition reflects the changes in the global environment, the
new risks that have emerged and the effect of macroeconomic factors
on business profitability and success. The author has also included
a set of case studies to illustrate his ideas in practice.
