nNote Don??™t doubt the positive power of mistakes. While stressful at the time, every failure that occurs is
an opportunity to learn more about your environment. Trust me, you??™ll make mistakes. There will be factors
you won??™t have considered. That??™s OK. Just learn from them, and don??™t make the same mistakes again. Treat
every problem as a learning experience, and document what went wrong and how things will be changed.
Your management should be impressed when you share that sort of thing.
In the Response and Mitigation columns, as shown in Tables 11-1 and 11-2, you can
either put simple Yes/No responses as to whether a mitigation or response plan is in
place, or you can link to whatever response or mitigation plan is used. Response and
mitigation have a many-to-many relationship with disasters.
Once you have some sort of ranking, start coming up with response and mitigation
strategies. I highly recommend using a simple technique like this for risk identification.
The more complicated you are, the harder it will be to move on to the next step (which
is actually doing something about the risk).
