Risk Assessment and Response Planning Cyle

Evaluating the risk.

The annual risk assessment process is used to review risks previously identified by JCCC in today’s environment and to account for emerging risks in higher education.

The JCCC Strategic Risk Management Program guides and implements an ongoing process to:

  • Proactively identify risks across the College
  • Assess the potential impact of risks on core mission and strategic initiatives
  • Prioritize risks across the College
  • Identify, document and assess strategies to mitigate these risks
  • Monitor risks and risk mitigation actions

The JCCC Strategic Risk Program provides critical risk information to leadership across the College to enable informed decision-making about strategy, policies and programs.

Risk Assessment Tools

The annual Enterprise Risk Assessment process is utilized to review risks previously identified by JCCC in today’s environment and to account for emerging risks in higher education. By conducting this survey annually, we can monitor progress in prevention, preparedness, and mitigation over time and allocate resources appropriately. Survey results also help to inform the College’s insurance program.

Risks are evaluated utilizing three factors:

  • Degree of Impact (Severity)
  • Likelihood of Occurrence (Probability)
  • Control Effectiveness (Preparedness)

Risk assessment methodology focuses on a set of risk rating criteria to calculate overall risk scores. All calculated risk scores are first computed for each individual respondent and then averaged together to create the final overall scores for aggregate and segmented results.
