WHAT SHOULD BE THE STRATEGY ? Pragmatic approach!!
!
PRAGMATIC APPROACH Natural events, accidents, man made disasters, technical
brake downs, rogue employees, external threats are the
potential perils - watch them
The personnel working closest to its operations are the best
equipped to detect the risk and risk reducing solutions– Involve them
To identify potential crisis – put yourself in the role of internal
saboteur and ask what could I do to damage this company - mind boggling

PRAGMATIC APPROACH cont….
Some risks are much easier and cheaper to neutralize than others
- identify and neutralize
Quantify the risk in terms of potential risks than probability of occurrence
– apply this theory
Take a holistic approach in addressing the given situation
- give a thought
