Integrating arguments:

-  Modification of existing services. The quality of service delivery should be monitored against the operator's contractual obligations to determine whether intended VfM outcomes are being met. Modifications may be required to improve service delivery. This establishes a link between risk and performance management.

-  Re-allocation of risk. Performance monitoring can be used to identify whether particular risks could be re-allocated to a party better placed to manage them. Performance data can therefore be used as a basis for decision-making. This establishes a link between risk and performance management.

-  Business continuity planning modification. Changing circumstances / new knowledge may lead to the alteration of business continuity plans. Operational performance should be monitored and adjustments made to plans where necessary to ensure they remain current. This establishes a link between risk and performance management.
