That's very true. As a business owner, it is important to be aware of the different types of operational risks and to have measures in place to help manage them. This could include having Business Continuity Plans in place that cover both internal and external risks, as well as having a well-defined risk management process that is regularly monitored and reviewed. It is also important to ensure that the right people are in place to manage these risks, and that they have the skills and knowledge required to do so.
