Activity Matrix
Managing risk is entirely dependent upon access to information. This information resides in many functional silos and at many levels within the
typical organization. The manner in which an organization manages information can be the single most important factor for effectively managing
risk. Openness is the key.
“Reactive” organizations don't readily share information. “Active” organizations share information across the enterprise and with external partners
and stakeholders. “Reactive” organizations tend to transfer their risk to a third party for a price (premium), while “active” organizations retain risk
and avoid unnecessary expenditures.
Adoption of emerging platforms and technologies is often delayed until an organization feels its culture is “ready” for the next step. This is
particularly true for risk management because most organizations prefer to minimize the collection and distribution of "failure data." Active
Agenda's communication framework helps “active” organizations identify, attack, and preempt "failure." Active Agenda can help “reactive”
organizations see what's possible and migrate methods from closed to open.
It is often said that 90% of problem solving is problem “seeing.” Sometimes, people just need to see what's possible.
