Abstract: A system and program captured in a computing device for managing the risk of a new business opportunity. The system and computing device accept data and creates plans to optimally reduce the risk of new business opportunities and then uses the resulting data to create management reports that can be both viewed or integrated into existing management reporting systems. A training module can be integrated with the system. The entire system can be operated via the cloud so as to allow users to interface the system remotely.
