Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/risk-management

Risk management is the overarching discipline of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating risks that could impact an organization's objectives, spanning financial, operational, strategic, and compliance risks. Risk managers, executives, and boards use frameworks and tools to make informed decisions about which risks to accept, transfer, avoid, or reduce. It is a core function in industries like finance, insurance, healthcare, and manufacturing, and increasingly integrates cybersecurity and climate-related risks.
