Risk is a universal concept which spans across all industries.
Risk is an integral part of project management at a holistic level. Projects inherently involve uncertainties and risks and organizations need to assess the risks and uncertainties in their external and internal environments to develop effective strategic plans that can adapt to potential challenges.
