About the ORM

The IIRSM ORM was developed by the IIRSM Ambassadors Network and shows how risk in one part of an organisation impacts another, either positively or negatively, and how risks external to the organisation (in the macro-environment) also impact those risks.

The ORM provides the IIRSM community with awareness of risk areas and prompts to help them evolve and inspire others across their organisation.

As we know, the overall risk picture and the individual elements are in constant flux. The ORM is a representation of the types of risk that will be present in an organisation and the way that one risk may impact another, creating new risks or opportunities.
