Risk Register Template

This simple, ready to use Risk Register template provides a practical starting point for identifying, assessing, and managing risks within a supermarket environment. The example illustrates common risks faced by supermarket chains such as: supply disruptions, food safety incidents, customer experience issues, and technology outages. The PowerPoint based format enables quick setup and structured risk analysis, making it suitable for organizations and teams of all sizes, from single store operators to large, multi branch supermarket chains.

When to use:
At the early stages of strategy formulation, during strategy refresh cycles, or when managing ongoing operations, major initiatives, expansion programs, or regulatory and compliance requirements within a supermarket or retail context.

How to use:
Systematically identify (OFCTR) operational, financial, commercial, technological, and regulatory risks relevant to the supermarket business. Assess each risk based on likelihood, impact, proximity, and expected value, and define appropriate response options (avoid, reduce, transfer, or accept). Assign clear risk ownership and actionees through cross functional workshops involving operations, supply chain, IT, finance, and compliance teams. The template is supported by a guided framework that explains how to complete each field.

Outcome:
Develop a shared, evidence based view of key supermarket risks to support informed decision-making, risk mitigation planning, accountability, and ongoing monitoring across the strategy and execution lifecycle.
