A Refined Risk Management Paradigm

Abstract

This paper looks at past risk management models and incorporates parts of those models into a new paradigm. This new refined paradigm can be viewed as a cyclical system containing five steps, with each step having three stages. The model is new in that each of the steps—program development, risk analysis, solution analysis, decision process, and system administration—are geared toward helping the organization achieve its goals. In addition, the new model is designed to involve all stakeholders. The risk management paradigm is a comprehensive and logical management method. It also has a flexible structure that allows it to adapt to future innovations in the risk management discipline.
