Nowadays, the majority of business organisations are implementing different strategic planning to gain more competitive advantages in the operating market. The Human Resource Managers plays a vital role in managing day to day workforce of an organisation leads to improves overall financial position as an organizational brand image (Schlosberg, Collins & Niemeyer, 2017). This particular study mainly focused on the different innovative strategies of Business Operation, and that is essential for the entire organisation to improve the service quality in grabbing the attention of more customers (Paschen & Beilin, 2017). Apart from that, this study also indicates the risk management policies of BizOps enterprise for mitigating all the issues during strategic implementation and avoids future risks.
According to the risk management policy, the entire business organisation needs to identify the risk of every proposed project to mitigate all the issues, and the organisation also needs to keep all the records such as identification, evaluation, treatment of uncertainty in risk management register (Schlosberg, Collins & Niemeyer, 2017). Identification of risk is one of the significant factors for the entire business organisation before strategic implementation otherwise it can hamper the brand image as well as the financial position of that organisation. In BizOps enterprises, the higher management of that organisation needs to analyse the expected risk of the proposed project. The primary responsibility of managing director is to review the report thoroughly to recommend various strategic ideas that help the organisation to minimise the level of risk and to make the development process sustainable. The management needs to evaluate the previous issues faced by the organisation and also needs to form a risk register, and these useful tools will help this company to track all the problems efficiently (Paschen & Beilin, 2017). Moreover, the Human resource managers of this organisation need to provide training to each, and individual employees on risk management and identification of different risk management principles will improve the overall operational excellence of BizOps enterprise. At the same time, the organisation needs a monitoring team to monitor the risk management procedures I an effective manner leads to sustainable development.
At first, monitoring team and the management needs to identify the risk factors effectively, and after identification of risk, the management needs to understand the level of risk. Risk rating process is one of the suitable options to recognise the risk level such as low, medium, high, extreme etc. (Zou, Kiviniemi & Jones, 2017). The management generally treats the risk by the risk level. Identification of consequences level also enables the manager to take a vital decision regarding risk management planning. The Human resource manager of business operation enterprise will evaluate the likelihood rating based on different probability factors. Identification of risk score is vital for BizOps and managers generally treat the risk based on risk score, if the score is low then management accept the risk and if the risk score is high enough than management avoids the risk (Furlong et al., 2017). After evaluation, the management team of Business Operation provides all the reports to the general manager. Monitoring team of this organization will monitor the strategic implementation efficiently to identify new risk, and that will help this company to take further actions that ensure sustainable organisational development.
