Operational Risk Velocity
The question it asks Which of the risks in your business are moving fast, which are moving slowly, and which kind is on your radar?
Operational risk shows up in two speeds. Fast risks announce themselves — a key employee resigns, a vendor goes down, a breach happens. Slow risks accumulate quietly — margin compresses by half a point a quarter, vendor lock-in deepens, technical debt grows.
Human attention is calibrated to fast change, which leads most organizations to track fast risks closely and slow risks loosely, often without realizing it. This diagnostic walks through five domains, asking what's moving fast and what's moving slowly in each — surfacing the pattern of where you're attending well and where you're not.
