Description:  Despite the widespread adoption of standards such as ISO 14971 and ICH Q9, real-world risk management practices across medical device and combination product organizations still vary widely in both effectiveness and efficiency. The Risk Management Maturity Model (RMMM) initiative was launched to close this gap - using a first-principles approach to define a practical, scalable framework for assessing and advancing risk management maturity across the industry.

This panel introduces the goals, structure, progress, and long-term vision of the RMMM initiative. Panelists from the working group will share the guiding principles, core maturity domains, and initial assessment framework, while highlighting how the model is designed to support patient safety, informed decision-making, and regulatory alignment.

Attendees will gain insight into the collaborative development of the model with input from industry leaders and learn how they can participate in shaping a framework that fosters shared learning, benchmarking, and continuous improvement in risk management practices.
