Is your organization prepared to take strategic risks to advance its mission?

Strategic risk management requires thinking about a wide range of future possibilities and being willing to take risks for the good of those you serve in the face of an unknown future. These risks are not managed by rules and policies, but through approaches designed to assess and reduce the probability of negative impacts and leverage opportunities for positive outcomes.

IntegralOrg's Risk Management Toolkit is a free, helpful resource that your nonprofit can use to assess its capacity to manage risk.
Through a series of quizzes, the toolkit allows you to assess your organization's capacity to manage Staff & Volunteer Risk; Financial & Funding Risk; External & Reputation Risk; Operational & Program Risk; Governance Risk; Legal & Compliance Risk; and Strategic Risk.
Your organization's customized dashboard supports the risk management champions in your organization to track and monitor the development of best practices and proactive strategies within major categories of risk.
In addition to the questions and results, the toolkit contains definitions of key terms and legislation, as well as recommendations and resources that will help your organization continue its risk management journey.
This free workshop is part of the INTEGRALIntros series.
