ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to present the procedure performed to validate our model on a sample of 107 enterprises. Using the developed model, we assessed the risk management maturity of examined companies representing the financial services, construction and IT sectors. The assessment were performed for two different periods, i.e. the years 2018 (the pre-pandemic period) and 2020 (several months after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and during its course). We present the detailed results of the scores obtained for individual attributes and the total scores constituting diagnoses of the risk management maturity of all examined enterprises in both periods. The next step was the presentation and interpretation of the aggregate results of the risk management maturity assessments broken down by the three representative sectors. This allowed us to observe differences in the aggregate maturity assessments (indicating changes in maturity levels) before and during the pandemic, as well as to identify changes within the individual assessed attributes, also before and during the pandemic.
