Developing risk and opportunity matrix
Assign topic to the user
First of all, there is no mandatory requirement in ISO 9001:2015 for a risk management matrix. However, a methodology can definitely help the organization to identify risks and opportunities and plan the necessary actions to effectively address them.
The risk and opportunity matrix could be a spreadsheet, a document, a database, but the most common and clear format is usually a table that may include:
- Description of the risk
- Type of risk (business, project, stage)
- Likelihood of occurrence
- Severity of the risk , that is, the impact that the occurrence of this risk has;
- Countermeasures or actions carried out to prevent, reduce, or transfer the risk.
- Risk status, either is a current risk or is a past risk
This risk identification should be conducted with the relevant people of your organization and if possible, the relevant parties such as contractors, stakeholders and suppliers. A SWOT analysis can help with this identification, but then you will need to evaluate the level of significance of those risks by applying certain criteria selected by the organization.
