Exploit and Enhance

What is the difference between exploiting and enhancing a positive risk or opportunity?

Positive Risk = Opportunity


Suppose midway in a project you realize that there are very few issues and there is actually an opportunity to increase the margin by 10% if we finish the project 4 weeks early.


1. Assigning your best resources to finish 4 weeks early would be EXPLOITING the opportunity. Exploiting is reverse of AVOIDING


2. If you increase probablity or impact of opportunity is called enhancing. For eg: You work on ways to improve margin by 15% ( increasing impact ) or once the best resouce has been put in you try to look at all other parameters to finish 4 weeks early ( increase the probablity )

Exploiting means making sure that event happens

Enhancing means increasing probability or impact of the event.
