Executive Services Risk Profiling Template (9 slides)

The executive services function typically entails: coordinating requests for quick turnaround information at senior levels of the organization; arranging meetings with senior officials and other stakeholders; coordinating horizontal and sensitive issues, briefings and organizational responses; liaison with external stakeholders; and secretariat support to management committees.

What are the key risks related to the delivery of the executive services function?  Examples of risks include:  adverse impact on the credibility of the organization; incomplete or unreliable information; missed deadlines; security of information; change in government or ministers not handled effectively.

The executive services risk profiling template will help you to identify and assess risks and mitigation measures.

A summary risk template identifies examples of executive services risks and mitigation measures that would need to be assessed in terms of impact, likelihood, trend, and priority based on the mitigation gaps (see preview charts).

Slides are also provided for more detailed profiles or descriptions of the risks identified, including the risk owner, risk description, risk drivers, evidence of the scope of the risk/ risk indicators, impact, likelihood, trend, existing mitigation measures, mitigation gaps and actions required, and priority  (see preview chart example).

The template is fully editable and intended to encourage managers and staff to hold regular discussions on the risks faced and whether the mitigation measures are adequate.
