RISK MANAGEMENT 3-PHASE IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
Agency Level (BOH and Senior Management) 
PHASE 2 - Developing the System and Defining the PHU Level Risks
This phase should be completed following completion of Phase 1, although there may be some overlap.
Leadership Suggestion: A Working Group that includes Senior Management and other staff would be well-positioned to lead the activities throughout Phase 2. By the end of the phase the following should be in place: top risks for the organization and high level mitigation strategies.
The following activities will often take place during the second phase of implementing a risk management program.
| To build capacity for the process, orient board members & senior management to the risk management framework. |
| Determine details of the risk management cycle, reporting mechanisms and timelines for the public health unit. |
| Identify and assess the top risks by category for the public health unit including their likelihood and impact. The BOH would usually be included in this activity. |
| Develop reporting mechanisms for the top agency level risks. |
|
Identify risk mitigation strategies and controls already in place.
|
|
Assign responsibilities for maintaining the risk management process for all levels in the organization, i.e., board level, operational levels, e.g., department level, program level, team level, project level.
|
| Develop risk mitigation strategies. These should be structured as projects or initiatives with accountable managers. |
| Develop approach to establishing and maintaining a positive risk management culture, e.g., time at key meetings to discuss the progress on risks and mitigation strategies. |
