Il cambiamento dell’approccio allo sviluppo territoriale è legato alla capacità di comprendere, interpretare e assorbire la varietà dell’ambiente di riferimento attraverso l’apertura dei processi decisionali agli stakeholder territoriali e alla loro diretta partecipazione non solo nella fase di ideazione e progettazione ma anche in quella di attuazione. Questo per supportare la capacità della comunità di generare uno sviluppo sostenibile dal punto di vista istituzionale, sociale, economico e ambientale, uno sviluppo che garantisca un progressivo miglioramento, vero e duraturo, del benessere e della qualità della vita dei suoi residenti, grazie all’agire collaborativo e integrato degli stakeholder territoriali, tra i quali la società civile nelle sue diverse forme e articolazioni operative. Se la comunità in azione è oggi un obiettivo primario per amministratori pubblici, imprenditori, manager di imprese e di aziende pubbliche, amministratori e manager di aziende non profit, singoli cittadini, la Community Governance è il paradigma culturale, lo stimolo e il modello di governo di questa azione.

Qualsiasi azienda, pubblica o privata che sia, ha la necessità di ricercare strumenti di controllo interno e di gestione che le consentano di contrastare il verificarsi di eventi avversi tipici di qualsiasi organizzazione, al fine di consentire alla stessa di poter raggiungere più efficacemente i propri obiettivi. Se, come ben noto, il “goal” fondamentale di un’azienda è quello di erogare prestazioni efficaci e sicure, diventa necessario l’implementazione di un sistema di monitoraggio ed analisi dei rischi attraverso un vero e proprio “protocollo” che prevede innanzi tutto la mappatura e la identificazione delle aree critiche, poi le tipologie di rischi, a seguire la Risk Analysis, l’implementazione di un sistema di Operational Risk Management (ORM) sino alla costruzione di un “motore organizzativo e quantitativo” definito Risk Management più che mai necessario in aziende sanitarie in quanto particolarmente soggette a rischi camaleontici di ogni genere.
