System and method for managing risk and opportunity
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first storage means for receiving and storing data at predetermined times, wherein the data corresponds a plurality of risks and a plurality of opportunities for the business entity;
a second storage means for receiving and storing data at each of the predetermined times, wherein the data corresponds to a potential monetary impact on the future condition of the business entity of each of the risks and opportunities stored in the first storage means;
a first input means for receiving at each of the predetermined times, for each opportunity stored in the first storage means, data corresponding to one of a probability that the opportunity will occur during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the opportunity will occur,a second input means for receiving at each of the predetermined times, for each risk stored in the first storage means, data corresponding to one of a probability that the risk will occur during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the risk will occur, anda calculation means for projecting at each of the predetermined times the future condition of the business entity based on a monetary value of each of the risks and opportunities stored in the first storage means, wherein the monetary value is a function of the potential monetary impact and the one of frequency and probability for each of the risks and opportunities from the first and second input means;
wherein the potential monetary impact is a function of one of earnings before interest and taxes (“
EBIT”
), operating cost savings and market share gains.

Abstract
A method of projecting a future condition of a business entity by identifying a plurality of risks and a plurality of opportunities for the business entity and evaluating at predetermined times a potential impact of each of the risks and each of the opportunities on the future condition of the business entity. Determining at each of the predetermined times for each of the risks one of a probability that the risk will come to pass during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the risk will come to pass and determining at each of the predetermined times for each of the opportunities one of a probability that the opportunity will become available to the business entity during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the opportunity will become available to the business entity. Projecting at each of the predetermined times the future condition of the business entity based on the potential impact of each of the risks and opportunities and based on the determinations with respect to the one of frequency and probability for each of the risks and opportunities.

6. A computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to project a future condition of a business entity, the set of instructions performing the steps of:
-
identifying a plurality of risks and a plurality of opportunities for the business entity; evaluating at predetermined times a potential monetary impact of each of the risks and each of the opportunities on the future condition of the business entity; determining at each of the predetermined times for each of the risks, one of a probability that the risk will occur during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the risk will occur; determining at each of the predetermined times for each of the opportunities, one of a probability that the opportunity will occur during a predetermined period of time and a frequency at which the opportunity will occur; projecting at each of the predetermined times the future condition of the business entity based on a monetary value of each of the risks and opportunities, wherein the monetary value for each of the risks and opportunities is determined based on the potential monetary impact and the corresponding one of frequency and probability; and wherein the potential monetary impact is a function of one of earnings before interest and taxes (“
