The full picture
Most serious operational risks do not begin as a red KPI. They develop across functions: Sales makes a commitment, Delivery absorbs work, Finance sees cost, Supply moves a date, and no single system recognizes the combined exposure.
A shared operating model can monitor those relationships continuously, quantify the consequence, and alert the accountable owner while there is still time to intervene.
Key terminology
- Cross-functional risk
- Exposure created by conditions spanning multiple teams or systems.
- Negative evidence
- An expected control, approval, record, or action that is missing.
