• External environmental factors

But what happens when a number of risks materialise at the same time? Discuss how looking more cumulatively at risk could change the way you view risk...

• Will smaller risks need to be given a higher priority due to their cumulative status
• How do you accurately predict a cumulative risk
• Is it possible to accurately predict al the right cumulative risks?
