ISO 31000 philosophy has been a holistic approach to Risk Management, ensuring both positive and negative risk assessments are completed respective to each organisational department. Effective risk management can greatly attribute to greater sustained business growth.
The principles and practices in ISO 31000 can be applied throughout a wide range of activities with an organisation. These activities include:
- strategies and decisions,
- operations,
- processes,
- functions,
- projects,
- products,
- services and
- assets.
ISO 31000 does not provide detailed instructions or requirements on how to manage specific risks, nor any advice related to a specific application domain; it remains at a generic level.
Benefits
Most organisations have more than one management system standard. Uncoordinated systems take up extra time and resources, so there is a clear need to find a way of integrating and combining the standards in the best possible way. Existing management system standards often have different structures, requirements and terminology, so integration is challenging. To address this problem, ISO developed Annex SL – the framework for a generic management system and the blueprint for all new and revised management system standards in future
