Operational Risk Management (ORM)
Operational risk is, as the name suggests, about the risk arising from the operational execution of the organisations strategy. A widely used definition of operational risk is the one contained in the Basel II [1] regulations. This definition states that operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.
