Choosing a new risk software system - through collaboration
You know you need to implement new risk management software. Maybe you're just starting to consider your options, or perhaps you're thinking about building your own in-house tool? Is the grass always greener?
1. Speeding up the creation of a business case
We created a peer-contributed and peer-validated business requirement template for one member.
By collecting business requirements from practising risk leaders at listed companies of a similar size and structure to the member, we were able to deliver a filterable template with over 300 business requirements.
Examples of fields in the business requirements template:
|
This template is now available for all our members to use.
2. Narrowing down your short-list
In many cases, risk leaders have already got an idea of the systems they're interested in. But how do you choose a final supplier without having to endure endless sales pitches?
We facilitate 1-to-1 discussions with other risk leaders, so that they can ask candid questions about their peers' experiences with different risk systems.
What candid questions would you like to ask another risk leader about a system that you're considering?

Peer collaboration gives risk leaders confidence when narrowing their short-list down to a final supplier - they tell us that speaking to practising risk leaders who have 'no dog in the fight' is invaluable."

For risk leaders beginning their journey with switching new systems, we recently conducted a survey on risk management software use.
With answers from 24 global organisations, members are able to see what systems are being used, the key advantages cited for each, and the potential benefits of developing an in-house solution.

4. Avoiding early implementation pitfalls
Once risk leaders have selected a vendor, we're facilitating further 1-to-1 calls with peers, so they can get tips for implementation. This saves them valuable time when embedding the system in their own organisation as they can act on suggestions/advice from experienced users.
Our members can anticipate potential tricky areas before they materialise and get the most value of their system.

We're inviting non-members to collaborate on risk management software. Fill in this form to request to get involved, as a guest, in some of our upcoming collaboration.
We'd love to show you our network in action by involving you in a tailored collaboration to support you. In return, we hope you'll be willing to share some of your feedback on systems you've used with our members.
