Risk Management

What is Risk Management?

JLT Sport defines risk as the "possibility that something might happen that will affect your club or others associated with your club".

The technical meaning (according to Standards Australia) is “the chance of something happening that will have an impact upon objectives. It is measured in terms of consequences and likelihood.” AS/NZS 4360:1999

Most people associate risk with negative or hazardous situations. In fact, JLT Sport describes that risks can be both negative and positive.

Here is an example of a negative and a positive risk…

Negative Risk: A decline in your club's membership by more than 20 members

Postive Risk: An increase in your club's membership by more than 20 members
