Action plan management

Our cloud-based risk management platform is meticulously crafted to assist risk and compliance professionals in efficiently managing the extensive array of action plans generated from third-party and internal control assessments.

Action plan management

3 challenges

#1. Amount of manual work involved

One of the primary challenges in third-party risk management is the significant amount of manual work required to track progress, update action items, and communicate updates. This labor-intensive process can lead to inefficiencies, increased risk of errors, and delays in execution.

#2. Maintaining oversight across different teams

Action plans often span multiple teams and departments, each with its own priorities, workflows, and timelines. Maintaining a cohesive oversight across these diverse teams to ensure the action plan remains on track is a significant challenge.

#3. Keeping stakeholders engaged

Ensuring continuous engagement from all stakeholders involved in the action plan is crucial yet challenging. Stakeholders may vary in their level of interest or investment in the plan's outcomes, leading to varying degrees of responsiveness and involvement. Developing strategies to keep stakeholders informed, involved, and motivated throughout the lifecycle of the action plan is essential for its success.
