Second-order derivative: Difference between revisions

[[Operations]] people deal with ''actual'' risks; [[legal eagle]]s and fellow [[Controllers|controller]] [[subject matter expert]]s deal with ''[[first-order derivative]]s'' of those actual risks — what the consequences are if the risk comes about — and [[middle management]] and [[internal audit]] deal with ''[[second-order derivative]]s'', being derivatives of those [[first-order derivative]]s of the underlying risk: what the [[RAG status]] on the [[opco]] dashboard should look like if a [[NAV trigger]] is hit; whether the template [[confidentiality agreement]] as been reviewed within the six-month time limit arbitrarily prescribed by some policy for the review of standard form legal agreements — that kind of thing.
