RPM — Risk Prioritization Model

Are you prepared for the risks that could affect your business?

Economic uncertainty, regulatory changes, operational disruptions, and external events can significantly impact your organization. RPM is an intuitive application designed to help you identify and prioritize risks before they affect your strategic objectives.

Key benefits

What RPM does for you.

Four capabilities that turn the first steps of risk analysis from a workshop exercise into everyday practice.

  • 01

    Systematic identification

    Structure risk events clearly and efficiently, so nothing critical is left to memory or scattered spreadsheets.

  • 02

    Effective risk prioritization

    A consistent process weighs each risk by Severity, Occurrence, and Detection so the priorities are defensible.

  • 03

    Decision support

    Optimize resource allocation and strengthen business continuity by acting on what matters most, first.

  • 04

    Universal application

    Adaptable to any industry or project size — from a single site to an enterprise portfolio.

Why it matters

Risk analysis raises the quality of every decision a company makes.

Given the internal and external environment companies operate in, risk analysis strengthens decision-making, adds value, and lifts the quality of the work itself. International bodies that govern operational improvement recommend implementing a risk management system in regular operations, to ensure better products and services for the public and the customer.

Risk analysis begins by identifying the risk factors. Once identified, they must be prioritized. RPM facilitates that first step so you can continue with the rest of the analysis.

How risk assessment works

Three factors, one to five.

Every risk is weighed on three straightforward scales. Together they surface a single priority score, so leaders know which risks to attend to first.

1 → 5

Severity (S)

Measures the impact if the risk occurs

  • 1 · Insignificant impact
  • 5 · Critical / catastrophic impact
1 → 5

Occurrence (O)

Measures the likelihood of the risk occurring

  • 1 · Highly unlikely
  • 5 · Highly frequent
1 → 5

Detection (D)

Measures the ability to detect the risk before it causes harm

  • 1 · High certainty of early detection
  • 5 · Very difficult or impossible to detect in time

The three scores combine into a single priority score. Risks are grouped into High, Medium, and Low, so leaders know which to attend to first.

How it works

Three steps from blank page to priorities.

  1. 01

    Create a project

    Name it, place it, describe its scope. Two minutes; you can refine the details later.

  2. 02

    Add the risks

    Walk through each one: what could go wrong, what would follow, and your three scores. RPM does the math.

  3. 03

    Read the priorities

    A matrix, a ranked list, and a full record. Edit as your understanding deepens; the priorities update with you.

What is inside

Built around the way risk leaders already work.

  • 01

    Risk matrix

    A live severity-by-occurrence matrix, with each risk sized by how hard it is to detect.

  • 02

    Priority band

    A single line that shows the proportion of High, Medium, and Low risks across the project.

  • 03

    Ranked register

    Every risk, ordered by priority score — highest first, so the most critical items always sit at the top.

  • 04

    Audit-ready record

    Edit any risk, see the history, archive or reopen projects. Nothing is silently lost.

Bring rigor to the risks your team already knows about.

Open a project, score your first three risks, and read the priorities. It takes a couple of minutes.
