Our Process
High View
Risk Mangement is a process not a product. It’s a mindset that starts at the top and has to be practiced day in and day out throughout an organization. Our goal is to give you the framework, tools, and support to ensure the success of your risk management programs.
“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”
“One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist is if you have a contingency plan for when all hell breaks loose.”
Our Process
By controlling risk on the front end, we aim to reduce the Total Cost of Risk your organization experiences over time. We focus on identifying the specific risks your organization faces, managing your exposure through a variety of risk treatment techniques, monitoring results, and adapting where necessary.
Know The Risk
If you don’t know it’s there, you can’t control it. In this phase we scan the environment for internal and external risk factors, identify risks specific to your organization, and analyze the potential impact a given risk has on your long-term objectives.
Manage The Risk
Now that we know what we’re up against, we can decide where and how to apply a risk treatment technique. Whether we decide to avoid a risk altogether, modify the likelihood or impact of a specific risk through loss control, transfer risk via contract, insure, retain, or exploit a risk, the treatment option should ultimately align with the goals and objectives you have established for your organization.
Monitor & Adapt
Effective risk management is not a one-and-done proposition. The process must include ongoing monitoring with periodic review of results. The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the controls that have been put in place, improve where possible, observe changes to the environment and identify emerging risks.
The Steps
In the words of Gen. George Patton, “Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.” We don’t stop at developing a strategy. Our process doesn’t end when an insurance policy is delivered. We provide both the strategy development and tactical implementation of a comprehensive risk management program.
Risk Mapping
Working with your executive team, our Canna Risk Advisors create an executive risk profile or Risk Map that will guide the rest of the process.
We identify organizational goals and objects, establish a risk tolerance level, and set priorities. Next, we align our risk program to meet the needs of the organization and establish a framework for implementation.
Loss Control
This is where our boots hit the ground. Our team of Loss Control Consultants are available to conduct site specific safety and security inspections, physical hazard assessments and risk surveys. The data gathered during this phase will be utilized to develop and document a written safety program with policies and procedures appropriate for your organization.
