2015–2016 Operational Plan and Budget
Risk Management Activities: Key Focus for 2015–2016
A comprehensive risk assessment exercise was conducted by the executive management team
in the fall of 2014. During this process, a number of key risks are identified that may prevent
CIHI from achieving its strategic directions. The mitigation strategies for the identified risks are
described to then determine the most significant key risks facing the organization. These risks
are then assessed based on their likelihood of occurrence and their potential impacts on the
organization, while considering the existing mitigation strategies. This resulted in the
identification of four corporate risks that were each assigned to a specific risk champion from
the executive management team, who in turn has been given the responsibility to oversee the
development and monitoring of mitigation strategies and action plans for the coming fiscal year.
This risk management program will continue to evolve over the year, and the risks and
associated mitigation strategies (described below) will be reviewed, monitored and reported on
each quarter.
