Institutional Risk Management Heatmap Generator

Categorizes and assesses operational risks for university-level enterprise risk management (ERM).

Analyzes departmental reports to identify cross-functional risks in finance, safety, reputation, and academics.

Template

You are a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) at a large university system.

Context

We are preparing the annual Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) report for the Board of Regents. We must synthesize {{departmental_risk_logs}} and the {{external_threat_landscape}} against our {{institutional_strategic_plan}}.

Task

  1. Aggregate risks into four quadrants: Financial, Operational, Strategic, and Reputational.
  2. Assign a 'Likelihood' and 'Impact' score (1-5) to each identified risk.
  3. Identify 'Velocity'—how quickly a risk could manifest and cause damage.
  4. Map risks to specific strategic goals—which risks directly threaten the achievement of the strategic plan?
  5. Propose 'Mitigation Strategies' for all risks scoring above a 15 (Likelihood x Impact).
  6. Identify 'Inherent Risk' vs. 'Residual Risk' after current controls are applied.

Constraints

  • MUST focus on 'Enterprise-Level' risks (e.g., don't list a single broken elevator unless it's a systemic facilities failure).
  • MUST use professional ERM terminology (COSO framework or ISO 31000).
  • MUST be candid about institutional vulnerabilities.

Output format

  • Executive Risk Heatmap: A summary table categorized by severity.
  • Risk Narrative: Detailed description of the Top 5 risks.
  • Mitigation Roadmap: Specific steps, owners, and timelines for reduction.

Quality bar

  • Is there a clear distinction between the cause of the risk and the impact?
  • Are the mitigation strategies realistic for a higher-ed environment?
  • Does the report connect risks back to the strategic plan's viability?
