Risk Manager

In an interconnected world, it is folly to still treat risk as a siloed function. It ought to encompass the entire organisation and provide insight at regular-enough intervals to help inform strategy. In the past, this was just a pipedream. But today integrated risk management is not only possible, but it’s also a definitive competitive edge.

Using its considerable experience and partnerships in the GRC space, thryve can unify all areas of risk effectively and efficiently, reducing costs and enabling insights. Our platform solution provides risk-assessment that can be automated and unified, providing critical insight into all the strategic and operational risks across the enterprise. Customised to your risk requirements and business drivers, our Integrated Risk Management solution can visualise complex data to show what is being done to manage these risks and build alignment with the risk tolerance of the organisation.

Risk and strategy go hand in hand, which is why a poor view of enterprise risk creates barriers for the organisation’s ambitions. But this is very difficult to address in the sprawling estate of enterprises, where silos, business units and many other individual components tug and twist against the mothership.

We leverage our GRC experience at thryve to bring together all the significant risks of an organization, in a way that enables the organization to most effectively manage them. Your organisation’s key objectives are supported through our processes of risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring. Reduce volatility and surprises with a clear view of what your enterprise’s rick landscape looks like, without disrupting contributors and their related processes. thryve’s Enterprise Risk Management solution is a technology marvel that creates a single view of organisational risk with granular detail, without rocking the boat.

Risk is one of the most crucial functions in a business, yet managing it is also among the most demanding. When the business needs a view of its opportunities, it looks towards risk managers to help paint that picture. In order to help organisations lower their total cost of risk, risk managers need to be able to immediately cross-examine their risk and insurance data. Traditionally this is a costly and slow process that can struggle to deliver results at the pace the business is evolving. But that can be turned around entirely with the right solution.

thryve’s Risk Management Information System is such a solution. It empowers risk decision-makers with leading-edge technology, accelerating the consolidation of data across the organisation’s silos and automating processes to speed up delivery. From here managers can access more advanced features, such as personalised reporting and predictive analytics. Reduce losses, test mitigation strategies, improve costs and feed risk data to the business at the pace it desires.

Every organisation is caught between two forces: those that deliver direct revenue value and the operational necessities to maintain those pipelines. The latter are often ‘grudge’ functions: necessary evils to some but nonetheless crucial for successful and compliant operations. For many, managing Environmental, Health and Safety risks would qualify as they are notoriously specialised and yet very important.

thryve’s Environment, Health and Safety Management solution combines the worlds of risk managers and safety professionals into one seamless and engaging platform. It serves as a single home for aggregating related data and serving insights to all the stakeholders. Our solution also lets these functions expand into other areas, such as tapping business intelligence features to further align with company strategy. Take the grudge out of Environment, Health and Safety through improved processes, automation and cross-collaboration, provided by our best-of-breed solution.

Audits and Assessments are common across an organisation, but that is often where similarities end. The scope, methods and outcomes of different audit requirements vary tremendously, which can instil doubt where there a uniform approach to it is even possible. But organisations like uniformity because it reduces complexity and costs. Is it possible to have those and still not limit the abilities of your audit and assessment requirements?

At thryve, we developed our Audit and Assessment Management solution specifically to answer this call. It’s a unified platform that presents common audit and assessment components to all. These include the ability to identify an audit subject, develop an audit plan, documentation of the audit, agreement on any audit finding, oversight of finding remediation, and reporting to an Audit Committee. But it also includes the flexibility to align these components with any specific auditing and assessment needs. Our solution lets your audit and assessment functions speak with their own voice yet still toe the line of the organisation.

Technicality is the hallmark of the compliance world, where many different standards and regulatory requirements can heavily impact budgets and time horizons. Getting compliance right is often a major cost centre, especially when establishing and promoting risk standards across various departments, business units and other silos. The more a business can streamline its risk standards to adhere to compliance requirements, the smoother its journey will be.

We use our deep experience at thryve around risk and compliance to power our Risk Standards Compliance Management solution.
