risikokompetanseanalyser

Risikokompetanseanalyser are systematic evaluations of the level of risk competence within individuals, teams or entire organizations. They aim to assess not only knowledge about risk concepts and methods, but also the practical ability to apply risk management tools, interpret information, and make risk-informed decisions. The analyses consider both technical skills and the organizational context that supports risk awareness, learning, and resilience.

The methodology typically combines multiple data sources and approaches. Common elements include competency frameworks that define required knowledge, skills and attitudes; gap analyses that compare current capability with desired levels; and maturity models that describe an organization’s progression in risk handling. Data may be gathered through surveys, interviews, simulations, drills, performance metrics, audits, and reviews of governance processes. The output is usually a report that highlights strengths, development needs, and priority actions.

Applications of risikokompetanseanalyser span various sectors, including finance, industry, information technology, healthcare, and the public sector. They are used to identify training needs, inform recruitment and development, shape risk culture initiatives, and improve decision-making under uncertainty. Results can lead to targeted education, changes in processes and governance, and better alignment between risk management activities and organizational objectives.

Risikokompetanseanalyser are often linked to established risk management frameworks and standards, such as ISO 31000, and serve as a complementary tool to risk assessment and control activities. Limitations can include subjective judgments and the challenge of measuring dynamic risk competencies across different contexts.
