Business planning includes risk management, which involves gaining insights from internal data and external industry reports to identify potential operational risks. Business risk analysis might uncover problems such as a risk to a project deadline or a technology security problem. The first step in evaluating risks is to identify a company's core business functions.

Assessing a Firm’s Core Business Functions

To begin a risk assessment, identify the key procedures and process within your business operation. For example, an retail store has risks associated with inventory security and premise liability where issues with security and control risks might be identified through observation and testing existing procedures and processes used to manage these risks. In today’s high tech business environment, special attention is especially placed on assessing automated and technology systems for possible risks -- such as computerized cash register and inventory control systems.

Performing Business Risk Analysis

Business intelligence used by risk analysts come from workers, managers, customers, and vendors. It is also derived from a firm’s operational, environmental, and market functions. A qualitative use of business intelligence may reveal actual firm threats and vulnerabilities that require business disaster recovery planning.
