Risk Maturity Model
Updated 2026-09-11
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
The risk maturity model, drawing on the capability maturity model, grades organizational risk management into defined levels, diagnoses the current level, and sets the improvement path to the next. Its core claim is that capability climbs step by step, since each level of process and culture is the foundation for the one above, moving from reactive, scattered, firefighting behavior at the low end to proactive, quantified, strategy-embedded behavior at the top. The conditions are that the gap closest to the next level be prioritized and that the assessment be repeated, since capability decays without re-evaluation.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Diagnose the current level: assess process, culture, and tools against the level definitions. - Target the next rung: prioritize the gaps that block the next level rather than chasing the highest one. - Reassess periodically: re-measure to confirm improvement and catch decay.
Anchor fast decisions
Borrowing the capability maturity model, the method grades organizational risk capability by level, where low levels look reactive, scattered, and firefighting while high levels look proactive, quantified, and embedded in strategy; each level builds the process and culture foundation for the next, and the assessment exposes the shortest path upward.
