Your greatest asset is your people, so you need to involve all of your employees through the development of a risk-aware business culture. This can't be accomplished overnight and you need to take gradual steps to get everyone in your organization on board. Where you can begin is with team leads and influencers within your organization that are admired by their peers and have them pass the information along to the rest of their co-workers. IRM is a proactive strategy, so your business decisions need to integrate risk mitigation at the highest levels. Each new strategic decision may open your organization up to risk, so you need to ensure that your leaders own the risks of their decisions. You may find that some risk mitigation strategies are less effective than others, so make sure that your reporting is goal-based and focuses on clearly defined metrics. Data analytics can offer new insights that guide the development of more effective policies and responses over time. It's crucial that you streamline the reporting process so that people who are in positions to make needed changes to your strategy can access data quickly and glean the insights needed to affect real change within your organization.
