    Why You Need A Reinstatement Cost Assessment Strategy ASAP
    Underinsurance is a universal problem when it comes to commercial properties and developments. The shock of Brexit, high inflation, and the Ukraine/Russian war have skyrocketed prices related to building materials and labour. At the same time, skill shortages and ever-shrinking budgets in the private, public, and third sector mean a substantial number of commercial property portfolios currently have potentially disastrous levels of underinsurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling potential threats. As a modern organisation, it's vital to safeguard your assets, protect your operations and secure your profitability. Risks come from many sources, including the external environment, legal liabilities, industrial accidents and natural weather events. Effective risk management is about understanding the range of potential risks and developing clear strategies to mitigate or eliminate their impact.

Risk management can be addressed in the following five stages:

  1. Identification: Recognise potential risks that could affect your organisation, from reviewing past incidents to conducting real-time assessments and brainstorming future scenarios.
  2. Analyse the Risks: Once risks are identified, their likelihood and potential impact need to be analysed. This analysis helps in understanding which risks are most critical.
  3. Evaluate or Rank the Risks: After analysing the risks, they are ranked in order of priority based on their severity and likelihood. This helps in determining which risks need immediate attention.
  4. Treat the Risks: Strategies are developed to manage or mitigate the risks. This may involve avoiding the risk, reducing its impact, transferring it (e.g. through insurance), or accepting it.
  5. Monitor and Review: Risk management is not a one-off process. Regular monitoring and reviewing are essential to ensure that risk strategies are effective and new risks are identified and managed in a timely manner.

Mitigating risk requires a proactive mindset and a considered approach. The following steps are crucial:

  • Regular assessment: Continually assess risks to identify potential threats.
  • Management planning: Formulate tailored strategies to avoid, reduce or transfer risk.
  • Safety measures: Implement processes to minimise accidents and operational disruptions.
  • Insurance coverage: Ensure appropriate insurance to cover financial losses.
  • Employee training: Carry out regular training in safety and risk management practices.
  • Ongoing monitoring: Continuously monitor your operating environment for emerging risks.
  • Leverage technology: Use technology and risk management systems to track and address risks.

Fundamentally, risk management is about protection. It's about setting up protocols and following procedures to safeguard your organisation's resources, operations and reputation. It involves anticipating potential scenarios and addressing existing incidents based on the ever-changing risk landscape. Effective risk management helps organisations safeguard assets, secure business continuity and promote a safe and productive working environment. When organisations are risk-aware they can make better decisions and build resilience in the face of change.
