As your risk analysis practice matures, you’ll hone in on the key threats, but for getting started, its enough to brainstorm threats that have some possibility of actually happening. To start with, for any given change, list as many threats as you can. With that said, here’s a practical approach to Risk Analysis in managing changes. Will I be able to do business after the change is made? ![]() Other parts of the service (or other services) not working correctlyĪll of which come down to a variation of:.Users unsuccessful in using the service to achieve business objective(s).New features not available, or not working right.Anticipated features not available (or not performing correctly).The kind of risks in view here are things like: Not risk of technical failures, or IT related issues – but the risk the proposed change presents to the organization over all. Risk Analysis then, as it relates to Change Management, is risk to the business. Effective Change Management ensures change risks are analyzed and appropriately managed. Let’s be clear – all IT changes have risk. The assessment of risk also depends on time: Is the impact of an activity on current or future health (the adolescent may significantly discount the future impact of tobacco use).Ever see a “low risk” change cause major issues? “We’ve done it before and never had any problems” doesn’t cut it in the aftermath of a business-impacting incident caused by a “low risk change”. For example, the risk associated with an adolescent using tobacco may be assessed quite differently by the adolescent, by her/his parents, by peers or by a health worker. Risk factors: Individual attributes or characteristics of the physical and social environment that increase the likelihood that an adolescent will engage in potentially harmful behaviours (or example, negative attitudes among peers about condom use is a risk factor for unprotected sex) or suffer negative health outcomes (for example, poor infrastructure for pedestrian safety is a risk factor for road traffic injuries).Īt risk: Adolescents described as “at risk” are those who live, learn and develop in conditions that contribute or predispose to poor health (for example, poverty and discrimination) or who engage in behaviours that increase the likelihood of negative health outcomes (for example, injecting drugs using unclean needles and syringes).ĭifferent people and perspectives may assess risk differently. Risk exposures: Things that happen to an adolescent that may have negative impacts on health and are outside of his/her control-physical or psychological abuse, for example, developing respiratory disease as a result of indoor air pollution or becoming infected with Schistosoma haematobium from contact with contaminated water. Risk conditions may be linked to risk behaviours (for example, overweight/obesity is linked to diet and exercise) and to factors in the adolescent’s environment (for example, gender norms and food security influence the occurrence of anaemia). Risk conditions: Conditions such as overweight/obesity, which are not behaviours but that nonetheless contribute to diseases, disability or death. ![]() Risk behaviours: Behaviours that increase the likelihood of a negative health outcome, now or in the future-for example, excessive alcohol use. For example, having sex without a condom may lead to becoming pregnant or acquiring a sexually transmitted infection, including HIV or the probability of contracting malaria or diarrhoeal disease, which varies depending on a range of agent, host and environmental factors. Risk: The probability that a specific action or exposure will give rise to a negative health outcome. ![]() ![]() In public health the word risk is used in many ways:
