These three web applications are designed to complement each other to help your organization increase its capacity to address risk management issues. All three applications address similar content areas related to risk management but have different approaches that address risk management needs from different perspectives. Looking at risk from all three perspectives creates a well-rounded approach to risk management in your organization.

• My Risk Assessment will help you evaluate your existing risk management practices and identify potential opportunities for improvement. The report generated from the assessment gives advice on how to strengthen these areas. My Risk Assessment can also assist your team in identifying and prioritizing risks to your organization. The application generates an aggregated list of risks from your team that can be used as the catalyst for further discussion about risk management.
• My Risk Management Plan assists you in documenting your organization’s approach to risk management and all the functional areas where it is a concern. As you work through the content modules in the application, it provides a guide for writing a cohesive, consolidated document that covers risk management in your organization. Once complete, you can offer the plan as an explanation of your commitment to risk management.
• My Risk Management Policies is a great reference and management tool for policy creation and documentation in your organization. This web application provides a central location for your team to craft and save risk management policies. My Risk Management Policies has a list of policy templates that are used to help you create custom policies specific to your organization. Each template contains segments that you can select to include in the policy as well as segment customization that allows you to add information to the template. All policies can be exported for inclusion in policy handbooks or other organizational documentation.

My Risk Assessment is very accommodating in who uses the tool. There may be one person in your organization that has primary responsibility for risk management and may choose to take on the assessment process. You could also choose to approach the assessment collaboratively and add team members to complete or review assessment modules.

The Risk Ranking activity is primarily designed to be used with input from multiple perspectives. For example, you could add team members from your board or from your organization and have them select and rank risks. The account administrator can then export the aggregated list for review and discussion by the team.

The team at the Nonprofit Risk Management Center has developed all of the content for My Risk Assessment. The content is based on our 25+ years of advising mission-serving nonprofits covering a wide spectrum of services and purposes.

My Risk Assessment is an affordable, powerful 'self-help' tool that helps nonprofit teams identify and rank risks, and receive feedback on risk management action items based on the team's answers to specific questions. Users of previous versions of this web application tell NRMC that the advice contained in the system's final report is relevant and thoughtful. Many different types and sizes of organizations have found earlier versions of My Risk Assessment very helpful.

NRMC also offers 'hands-on' Risk Assessment services as part of its Consulting Practice. These engagements typically involve one hour interviews with 30 or more representatives of an organization, the review and redilining of specific risk policies, coaching for risk champions, and presentations to leadership teams. The minimum fee for a Risk Assessment is $28,000 plus actual travel expenses. To learn more about NRMC consulting and Risk Assessment services, visit www.nonprofitrisk.org/consulting/.

NRMC is pleased to offer three subscription levels for My Risk Assessment. Choose the Bronze subscription if you want to rank risks and complete a single assessment covering three areas of operations. Choose the Silver subscription if you want to conduct an assessment covering 13 areas of activity and operations. Choose the Gold subscription if you want to conduct an assessment covering 13 areas of activity and operations, and refresh your assessment and compare the results in one year's time. 

The modules vary in length, but generally each module will take between 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on your familiarity with the subject matter. 

If you have used My Risk Assessment before, there are some additions that build on the risk management assessment process that you will recognize from a prior version.

There are two major feature additions to My Risk Assessment. First and foremost, Risk Ranking is a brand new feature designed to help your team identify, rank, and prioritize risks in your organization. The end result is a list of risks that indicates the number of team members concerned about that risk as well as the relative level of concern across the entire team. Second, My Risk Assessment now enables you to create an assessment that compares a new version to a previous version so that changes in your assessment are highlighted. This comparsion report is available at the Gold subscription level.

Along with the new features, My Risk Assessment has expanded the number of content modules to address new risk categories. In addition to new modules, existing modules have been revised with new questions and advice in the report. Finally, you can now generate an executive summary to complement the report. The executive summary highlights some of the most critical opportunities for your organization to address.
