Operational Risk Assessment

A focused working session to identify where operational risk is concentrated as your business scales

Operational risk rarely shows up as one big failure.

It builds quietly as businesses grow, complexity increases, and informal ways of working start to strain.

The Operational Risk Assessment is a structured working session designed to help you see where risk is concentrating, what matters now, and what does not need fixing yet.

What This Assessment Is

This is not a sales call.

It is not an audit, a diagnostic questionnaire, or a compliance exercise.

The assessment is a focused conversation that looks at how your business actually runs and where reliability is starting to depend on individuals, workarounds, or escalation.

The goal is clarity, not solutions.

What Happens in the Session

During the assessment, we will:

  • Explore one or two real workflows that your business relies on

  • Look at how work, information, and decisions actually flow

  • Identify where delivery relies on individuals or informal handovers

  • Surface where growth is increasing risk rather than capacity

  • Prioritise what matters now versus what can safely wait

This is done without diagrams, frameworks, or lengthy preparation.

What You Leave With

By the end of the assessment, you will have:

  • Clear visibility of where operational risk is concentrated

  • Language to describe that risk accurately

  • Confidence about what needs attention now

  • Relief about what does not need fixing yet

Many leaders leave feeling calmer, not more overwhelmed.

Quick Operational Risk Self-Check

If you’re not sure whether an Operational Risk Assessment is the right next step, you can start with a short self-check.

The quiz takes just a few minutes and helps highlight where operational risk may already be building as your business scales.

It’s designed to create awareness, not provide a diagnosis.

Who This Is For

This assessment is designed for:

  • Growing businesses where complexity is increasing

  • Founders, CEOs, and COOs feeling pulled into day-to-day issues

  • Teams experiencing fragile handovers or dependency on key people

  • Organisations that want reliable delivery as they scale

Who This Is Not For

This assessment is not a fit if you are:

  • Very early stage with minimal operational complexity

  • Looking for a quick fix or generic advice

  • Expecting a free consulting session or detailed audit

  • Not ready to look honestly at how work actually runs

What Happens Next

After the assessment, there is no obligation to proceed.

You may choose to:

  • Do nothing and accept the current level of risk

  • Address one or two risks internally

  • Continue with guided or managed operational risk reduction

The assessment exists to create clarity first.
Decisions come later.
