Business Risk Management Tool
FIS has produced a Business Risk Management Tool to support contractors and help them adopt a structured approach to understanding risk and reducing uncertainty. The tool identifies over 120 common risk areas for contractors against the categories including Business Management, Contractual, Financial, Quality, H&S and Procurement, providing a mechanism to score and rank risk and advice on mitigation and management.
A risk management matrix ranks risk in term of probability of an event occurring and the severity of the impact should the event occur. It can be used to identify and prioritise activity so that a contractor can then make informed business decisions and improve their resilience.
Market Data
FIS Members have access to bespoke information gathered by the FIS and market leading data from the Construction Products Association and Barbour ABI to help understand trends, forecast performance and support strategic decisions in the sector.
