Tracks retail risks across demand, margin, inventory, supply chain, channel conflict, fraud and third parties with clear triggers, owners and escalation routes. Keeps risk governed through weekly trading and monthly executive cadence, not as a separate compliance exercise.
Retail risk becomes unmanageable when it sits outside operating rhythm and is reviewed only after impact is felt. A trigger-led register with clear ownership and escalation routes keeps risk visible, decisionable and closed through actions.
Used by leaders responsible for trading control, operational resilience and executive escalation discipline.
Inputs
Starts from what is already on the leadership radar, then standardises triggers and escalation routes.
Existing risk lists, board papers, trading notes or incident summaries to anchor what is genuinely material.
Outputs
A practical register of key retail risks with ownership, current status and review cadence.
A starter taxonomy with trigger definitions that make risk review consistent and repeatable.
Actions linked to owners and due dates, with closure expectations and evidence standards.
Clear routing rules so risks move to the right forum, with the right decision makers present.
A concise pack chapter showing top risks, trigger status, mitigations in flight and decisions required.
Ability to link risks to trading decisions, actions and portfolio initiatives so governance stays connected.
Configuration
Configured during implementation to match governance model, risk appetite and reporting cadence.
Tailor the risk categories (demand, margin, inventory, supply, channel conflict, fraud/shrinkage, third parties) and any scoring you use.
Confirm where risk visibility breaks down across trading, supply chain and digital, and which risks must be governed weekly.
Agree the risk taxonomy, trigger thresholds, escalation forums and named ownership for each risk type.
Configure the register, trigger library, escalation routes and visibility controls, then run risk review through weekly trading and monthly executive packs.
