OR Core Component [1] Operational Risk Management

Operational Resilience Core Component: Operational Risk Management

Operational Risk Management (ORM) is a broader operational resilience framework component. ORM helps identify, assess, and mitigate specific risks within operations, contributing to an organisation's ability to build resilience against disruptions that might arise from those operational risks. 

Operational resilience, in turn, incorporates ORM strategies into a more comprehensive approach that ensures the organization can withstand and adapt to various disruptions, not only operational risks but also external threats and unforeseen events.

Operational Risk Management (ORM) and operational resilience are interconnected elements within an organization's risk management framework. 
Here's how they relate:

Identification and Assessment

ORM involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with operational processes. This includes technology-related risks, human factors, processes, and external events.

Operational resilience considers these identified risks part of its broader approach to understanding vulnerabilities and threats that could disrupt operations.

Risk Mitigation and Controls

ORM focuses on implementing controls and measures to mitigate operational risks. These measures are instrumental in bolstering an organization's resilience by reducing the likelihood and impact of disruptions.

Business Continuity and Crisis Management Planning

ORM and operational resilience involve developing robust business continuity and crisis management plans.

ORM contributes by identifying potential points of failure or vulnerabilities, while operational resilience ensures that plans are comprehensive enough to sustain critical operations during disruptions.

Adaptive Strategies

ORM typically employs proactive strategies to manage and mitigate risks. Operational resilience takes this further by emphasising the need for adaptive strategies that allow organizations to manage risks and adapt and respond effectively to unexpected disruptions.

Focus on Recovery

ORM aims to prevent and mitigate risks, but operational resilience emphasizes the organization's ability to recover swiftly from disruptions.

ORM contributes to this aspect by providing insights into the risks that might impact recovery efforts.

Continuous Improvement

Both ORM and operational resilience require ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and improvement.

Organizations can enhance their resilience by continuously assessing risks, learning from incidents, and refining strategies.
