Many risks are the everyday challenges organisations face - like funding pressures, staffing issues, regulatory changes, cyber threats, and climate-related concerns. These risks are part of daily life, and they’re not going away.
Turning risk into opportunity
While risks can be disruptive, they can also open doors. With the right approach, you can manage them effectively - and even turn them into opportunities for growth and improvement.
That’s where Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) comes in.
- ERM helps you:
- Spot risks early
- Understand their impact
- Take action before they escalate
It’s a proactive way to build resilience and confidence across your organisation.
Support from Ecclesiastical
We know how demanding it is to run an organisation. That’s why our dedicated ERM team is here to help. With deep experience across churches, charities, heritage organisations, and schools, we offer practical insight and tailored support.
Our goal is simple: to help you build a resilient ERM system that enables your organisation to adapt, respond, and thrive - whatever challenges come your way.
Tools to help you get started
To make things easier, we’ve developed a Risk Management Toolkit, available exclusively to Ecclesiastical customers. It’s designed for senior leaders, risk champions, or working groups looking to strengthen their approach.
The toolkit includes:
- Five clear steps to help you identify, assess, and manage risks
- Practical examples to help you evaluate the scale and impact of different risks
- Tips to improve your current risk practices or fill in any gaps
Final thought
We live in a world that’s Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA). But with the right tools and mindset, you can stay ahead—and make the most of every opportunity.
