Risk and opportunity management in Ariadne

Risks and opportunities usually end up scattered: in a spreadsheet, in a colleague's private notes, or in workshop minutes nobody opens again afterwards. That makes it hard to tell what actually matters and what should have been dealt with long ago. With risk and opportunity management in Ariadne, you capture risks and opportunities systematically, assess them consistently, and link them directly to the processes they affect. What used to be scattered knowledge becomes a clear thread everyone can follow.


What changes for your everyday work

Everything in one place

Risks and opportunities are no longer scattered across spreadsheets or personal notes - they live centrally in Ariadne.

Directly linked to processes

You immediately see where a risk or opportunity applies, instead of having to search for it.

Action instead of standstill

Every risk or opportunity you identify turns directly into an action - nothing gets lost on the way from spotting it to acting on it.

What this looks like in practice

A supplier drops out at short notice, right in the middle of production. In the use case "Risk management for ISO 9001" you can see how a missed spreadsheet entry becomes a single, assessed risk: severity and likelihood are estimated using two sliders, which produce the risk score, directly linked to the right action.

And because that one risk never stands alone: the risk dashboard gives you an overview of every risk at a glance - how many are rated high, where the highest risk score sits, and how all risks are distributed by severity and likelihood, both in the risk matrix and in the breakdown charts. For a management review, one glance is enough - no more piecing numbers together from individual issues.

Why it's worth it

✓

Assess with sliders, risk value calculated automatically. You set the Extent of Damage and the Probability of Occurrence with two sliders, and the risk value is calculated automatically. You assess opportunities the same way, using benefit and achievability.

✓

All risks at a glance. The risk dashboard shows the risk matrix, distributions and the highest values. One look is all you need for the management review.

✓

Resubmission instead of forgetting. You set a resubmission date for every risk and get a timely reminder, also by email. That way, the reassessment actually happens.

✓

Record directly on site. You record hazards and risks where they occur: with a photo attached to the issue or by voice input.
