For ISO 9001:2015, the risk mind-set does not always come naturally to us. There are frequent occasions where management and staff of an organization are aware of potential risks but do consider that these risks will ever occur, they fail to consider these risks as real and actual threats, and are often surprised when the risks become a reality.

For Continual Improvement, opportunities are lost when each of the lower risks items is not each considered. Very often other opportunities are also lost because the top management does not engage with the little issues that staff is having and the simple savings that can be made.
