CIPS L3M3 Exam - Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M3 exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 1
[All L3M3 Questions]

Which two of the following constitute part of a common risk assessment or risk evaluation formula?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

What is the likelihood of an event occurring?

What will be the impact of that event occurring?

This is the basis of almost all modern risk management.

CIPS has good content at Advanced Diploma level on the subject of Risk Management, and I have prepared tests for the two subjects in this area. :)

Sadgrove's book on business risk, in my view, is excellent; and NN Taleb's work (eg 'Antifragile') on risk, although difficult is, in my opinion, fascinating.

I’m leaning towards likelihood and impact too, but I wonder if prevention could fit in some way. It’s tricky!

Contingency sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's actually part of the formula. I feel like it might be more about planning than assessment.

Ah yes, I remember now. Likelihood and impact are the two main factors that are considered in a standard risk assessment or risk evaluation process. I'll select those.

Hmm, let me think about this. I know risk assessment involves evaluating the potential for something to go wrong, but I'm not sure exactly which factors are typically included. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know risk assessment has to do with evaluating potential risks, but I'm not sure what the specific formula or components are. I'll have to make an educated guess here.

This looks like a classic Service Cloud question. I think the key is understanding how to track and monitor case progress based on different service levels.
