Enterprise Risk Management

All businesses face myriad risks.  Most risks can be characterized as primarily financial, operational, strategic, or legal.  In almost everything they do, managers must navigate these risks, solving for them as best they can while preserving a path to growth.

Valuable legal ops personnel understand that solving for every conceivable risk, all the way down every rabbit hole, can be incompatible with growth.  

Even more valuable legal ops personnel understand what risks a company has decided it’s willing to assume in service of its goals.  These folks have their finger on the pulse of a company's mission.  They are able to overcome the fear of uncertainty because they realize it’s more dangerous for the company not to assume a particular risk.

Grindstone can help evaluate your company’s enterprise risk equation, honing in on those risks which – in service of the mission – cannot or should not be eliminated.  Then, Grindstone can help your legal team identify ways to optimize decision-making behavior to honor the company’s risk equation.
