Risk Scenario

What is a Risk Scenario?

A Risk Scenario is a detailed, narrative description of a specific potential event or chain of events that could lead to adverse outcomes for an organization. It helps visualize how risks could materialize, what their impacts might be, and what underlying factors contribute to them. Risk scenarios are essential tools for strategic planning, risk assessment, and preparedness.

Key Elements of a Risk Scenario

  • Trigger event (what could cause the risk)

  • Vulnerabilities (weaknesses that could be exploited)

  • Consequences (potential outcomes and impacts)

  • Likelihood of occurrence

  • Potential mitigation strategies

Why Risk Scenarios Are Important

✔ Bring abstract risks into practical, relatable context
✔ Enhance preparedness and response planning
✔ Improve risk awareness across the organization
✔ Strengthen decision-making and resource allocation
✔ Help in stress testing business strategies
