prosessiriskit

Prosessiriskit is a term used in risk management to describe a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that arise within organizational processes. The exact meaning varies by context, and there is no single universally adopted standard under this name. In practice, it encompasses the set of process-related risks—such as design flaws, operating variances, bottlenecks, or misalignments between process steps—and the tools used to manage them.

Typical elements include process mapping or value-stream analysis, data-driven process mining, risk identification workshops, and risk assessment using qualitative or quantitative scales. Common analysis techniques include Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), bow-tie diagrams, and hazard and operability (HAZOP) reviews. Controls are then designed or enhanced (preventive, detective, and corrective measures), with monitoring through key performance indicators, audits, and dashboards.

Applications span manufacturing, software development, healthcare delivery, finance, and public administration. Prosessiriskit is often aligned with broader risk-management standards such as ISO 31000 or COSO, and may be integrated into existing governance, risk, and compliance programs. It emphasizes cross-functional collaboration and continuous improvement, as process changes can shift risk profiles elsewhere in the organization.

Limitations and challenges include ambiguity in the term itself, potential overlap with existing process improvement or risk programs, data availability for process mining and risk scoring, and the need for ongoing governance to ensure consistent application across units.
