Risk & Opportunity Matrix

The Risk & Opportunity Matrix by Cilver is a comprehensive Power BI custom visual designed to transform how organizations monitor and report on their risk landscapes. By bridging the gap between static data and dynamic visualization, it enables risk managers to view both downside risks and upside opportunities in a single, unified interface. What is new? Unlike traditional, static risk matrices, this visual’s unique proposition lies in its dynamic tracking of mitigation efforts over time. It empowers users to clearly compare pre-mitigation and post-mitigation states, revealing exactly how risk likelihood and impact shift after actions are taken. Combined with built-in trajectory animations, risk managers can instantly assess the true impact of their strategies, track movement, and identify critical trends at a glance. Key Features & Capabilities • Pre vs. Post-Mitigation Tracking: Visually compare how risks and opportunities move after mitigation actions have been applied. • Dynamic Trajectory & Animation: When paired with a reporting period, the visual animates risk movement over time to highlight progression and emerging trends. • Multi-View Heatmaps: Switch effortlessly between multiple heatmap views, including severity clusters, post-mitigation states, and value change tracking—all within one visual. • Integrated KPI Insights Strip: Display optional high-level metrics directly on the visual, such as Average Risk Score, Total Exposure, % of Risks Improved, and % of Risks Still Critical. It also tracks upside metrics like % Opportunities Enhanced. • Advanced Contextual Tooltips: Hover over data points to reveal interactive tooltips showing the risk position (Likelihood × Impact), the specific change (delta) between states, and custom status notes. • Extensive Customization: Leverage the Power BI Format Pane to customize colors, themes, bubble sizes based on financial cost, and font styling to match corporate reporting standards. Who is this for? • Risk Managers & Analysts: Gain a centralized, interactive view to assess risk exposure and the effectiveness of current mitigation plans. • Executives & Stakeholders: Quickly digest complex risk environments through intuitive heatmaps, clear trajectory movements, and automated KPI summaries. • Power BI Report Developers: Easily integrate a professional-grade matrix using standard required fields (Risk ID, Category, Likelihood, and Impact) and enhance it with optional data like cost and reporting periods
