What this session is about
This session helps you classify operational-risk exposures consistently. You will learn why taxonomies matter, how different ways of classifying issues can lead to confusion, and how a simple Level 1 taxonomy can improve reporting, escalation, and action.
Learning objectives
- Explain why taxonomy matters for operational-risk reporting and management action.
- Distinguish cause-based, event-based, impact-based, and consequence-based ways of describing issues.
- Apply a practical Level 1 taxonomy to operational-risk exposures.
- Recognise common classification mistakes and their reporting consequences.
- Use clearer classification language across functions and sectors.
