Skills concentration risk: does your team have genuine coverage?
⏱️ Estimated reading time: 7 minutes
An organisation may have several qualified professionals and still remain dependent on a single employee to interpret requirements, oversee project implementation, assess evidence, test systems or support risk decisions.
This is where skills concentration risk becomes apparent: dependence on key personnel and the concentration of knowledge, authority or operational capability in one individual whose absence or departure jeopardises timely decision-making, project delivery, audits and incident response.
