But most academic institutes are not even aware of the terminology, although there are few courses on the subject in management schools. Institutions do perform SWOT analysis while formulating their vision, mission and objective setting &#8211; but little beyond. That\u2019s why AICTE has taken numerous key initiatives to create awareness about risk management, now so much more important in a pandemic era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Risk management identifies and establishes probable risk structures in a given organisation. Once these two factors are identified, it\u2019s the responsibility of management to create an enterprise risk road map and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theirmindia.org\/level1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>mitigate risk<\/strong><\/a> in a sustainable way. This map covers all the operational segments susceptible to risk and drives all necessary reforms. It helps drive <span class=\"s1\">risk awareness<\/span>, risk reporting, risk avoidance and risk resolution across the organisation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">AICTE is the lead regulator within the Ministry of Education. It is preparing engineering and technical higher education institutions all over the country to manage the profound impact of COVID-19, making <span class=\"s1\">risk<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> management<\/span> an integral part of the decision-making process. Higher education institutions and organisations will form risk management teams able to classify the volumes of risk involved and assign those risks to the right management teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Alongside risk management teams there needs to be a risk management programme that monitors the institution\u2019s aims, objectives, history, property assets, teachers, students and resources. To achieve better results and meet risk management programme timelines, it\u2019s essential to nominate responsible officers who are accountable. These people must plan and implement the <span class=\"s1\">risk management programme<\/span> and prioritise risks as they are identified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The penultimate part of the above risk management programme is to monitor and review the plan from time-to-time. A consistent focus here is key to ensuring that no emerging risk results in an unprecedented or impossible challenge. The risk management board is also essential to ensuring best practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With an increasing regulatory focus on enterprise risk management, there is already rising demand for qualified ERM and risk-intelligent professionals. These people must have the skills to identify and manage not only financial risks but also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theirmindia.org\/digital-risk-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cybersecurity<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, reputation, climate change and supply chain uncertainties. Corporate India, academia and government are working towards building resilience and ensuring even better preparedness for high probability and high impact occurrences &#8211; so-called \u2018grey rhino\u2019 events.
