ChatGPT for Risk Management

The following is a prompt that you can give to ChatGPT to develop a first draft of your scope and context statement for a risk assessment that follows the ISO31000:2018 Risk Management Guidelines.


I recommend that you replace the text in the 'Background' with the 'About' section from your website and/or the Executive Summary from your annual report. But if you just want to test it out, be my guest.


Use your imagination and have fun with it. I just tested it by asking it to invent my Formula 1 Grand Prix team which wasn't the same as owning a GP team but ChatGPT did a good job of making me feel like I owned one, at least for a moment.
