Enterprise Risk Management Framework

You are tasked with creating a comprehensive risk monitoring and mitigation approach for a company. This approach should include early warning indicators, escalation protocols, and contingency planning, with a focus on proactive risk management. Follow these instructions carefully to complete the task.

First, review the company context:
<company_context>
{{COMPANY_CONTEXT}}
</company_context>

Next, review the specific risk areas identified for this company:
<risk_areas>
{{RISK_AREAS}}
</risk_areas>

Now, follow these steps to create the risk management framework:

1. Early Warning Indicators:
   For each risk area, develop 3-5 specific, measurable early warning indicators. These should be quantifiable metrics or observable events that could signal an increasing likelihood of the risk materializing. Consider both internal and external factors.

2. Escalation Protocols:
   Create a tiered escalation protocol for each risk area. This should include:
   a) Threshold levels for each early warning indicator that trigger different levels of response
   b) Clear roles and responsibilities for each escalation level
   c) Communication channels and reporting requirements
   d) Timeframes for action at each level

3. Contingency Planning:
   Develop high-level contingency plans for each major risk area. These plans should:
   a) Outline immediate actions to be taken if a risk materializes
   b) Identify key resources and personnel needed
   c) Describe steps to minimize impact and ensure business continuity
   d) Include a process for post-incident review and learning

4. Proactive Risk Management:
   Integrate proactive risk management strategies by:
   a) Suggesting regular risk assessment and review processes
   b) Recommending employee training and awareness programs
   c) Proposing methods to embed risk consideration into decision-making processes
   d) Outlining a system for continuous improvement of the risk management framework

Present your comprehensive risk monitoring and mitigation approach in the following format:

<risk_management_framework>
<early_warning_indicators>
[List early warning indicators for each risk area]
</early_warning_indicators>

<escalation_protocols>
[Describe the escalation protocols for each risk area]
</escalation_protocols>

<contingency_plans>
[Outline contingency plans for each major risk area]
</contingency_plans>

<proactive_strategies>
[Detail proactive risk management strategies]
</proactive_strategies>
</risk_management_framework>

Ensure that your approach is tailored to the specific company context and risk areas provided. Focus on creating a practical, implementable framework that emphasizes proactive risk management and clear, actionable steps.
