Establishing Comprehensive Risk Governance for a Leading Saudi Ministry
Saudi Arabia (2023)
Context
A prominent Ministry in Saudi Arabia faced the challenge of effectively managing potential risks amid a post-COVID business rebound. To support this shift, the client requested a thorough analysis of risks across operations and the development of a mitigation plan for each.
How LOGIC Supported
LOGIC delivered a structured risk management enhancement program combining diagnostics, stakeholder alignment, and execution:
1. Risk Documentation Assessment
We analyzed existing risk documents, including the risk register, in correlation with LOGIC’s risk identification mechanism.
2. Risk Gap Detection & Strategic Review
We detected gaps in the current risk register by reviewing strategic direction files and validating coverage across operational areas.
3. Stakeholder Workshops & Alignment
We facilitated consensus-building workshops among key stakeholders to align on risk definitions, prioritization, and mitigation ownership.
4. Policy & Communication Plan Development
We developed the final enhanced risk policy and integrated communication plan to enable consistent adoption across departments.
The Impact
LOGIC’s intervention strengthened risk governance and operational efficiency through:
● Developing a detailed risk register comprising 176 identified risks
● Providing 800+ preventative actions mapped to mitigation needs
● Classifying risks based on likelihood and impact across all operational areas
● Establishing a robust risk policy and cross-department communication plan, ensuring improved service quality and experience
● Reaching a transformative impact on the Ministry’s operational efficiency and risk management.
Key Takeaway
Risk Governance Is a Performance System, Not a Compliance Exercise
In complex environments, operational resilience depends on anticipating risks early and assigning clear ownership, not reacting after disruption. By institutionalizing structured risk visibility, mitigation discipline, and cross-department alignment, organizations strengthen service continuity, accelerate decision-making, and protect performance under changing conditions.
