Abstract
Risk management methods and systems are disclosed. Information regarding implicit social contracts affecting an organization is collected from one or more sources which are external to the organization. A reputation risk to the organization is then identified based on the collected information, and an indication of the identified reputation risk is provided to the organization. If multiple reputation risks are identified, then the risks may be ranked according to one or more ranking priority criteria. Once identified, reputation risks may be used, for example, in determining a valuation associated with the organization, implementing a remedial action plan for the organization to mitigate the reputation risks, and implementing a training program to disseminate the implicit social contracts, the reputation risks, or both. Reviews of activities of other organizations or legal proceedings relating to the implicit social contracts or any identified risks may be useful in assessing the magnitude of a risk.
