Note
Risk management plays a role in performance management when dealing with rare events or when there is uncertainty associated with influencing factors — while recognizing that the occurrence of such events can have a severe impact on meeting the performance expectations. Risk management applies in all KPAs, but as a technique it is mainly used in the safety and security areas.
