What is Risk Management Effectiveness?

 , updated on
Risk Management Effectiveness is the percentage of loss events that were managed as risks before they occurred. It is a basic metric that measures the coverage of risk identification and management.
Evaluating risk management by total losses doesn't always make sense. A highly profitable business unit may choose to accept a wide variety of risks, resulting in regular loss events. As such, loss events aren't necessarily a sign that risk management is suboptimal.
The goal of risk management is often to identify risks and ensure they are treated. When this is the goal, Risk Management Effectiveness is a good measure of your risk management program or activities.

Risk Metrics
Definition
The percentage of loss events that were managed as risks before they occurred.
Value
Indicates that risks are being managed. In other words, losses that occur were accepted as risks by business units or were unavoidable residual risks.
Example
A project has 80 issues and problems over the course of its delivery. Of these, 60 were identified as risks by project risk management but were accepted by the business in order to expedite the schedule and reduce costs. The risk management effectiveness rate for the project is:
(60/80) * 100 = 75%
