- Visually Represent your Risks: BowTie analysis presents the risk management process in an easily understandable visual format. It allows stakeholders to easily understand the threats, consequences, and control measures of any system or process.

- Clearly Identify your Control Measures: By employing the BowTie methodology, companies can identify what control measures are currently in place and their effectiveness. They can also determine weak points or areas where control measures are lacking.
- Enhance Decision-Making: With all risks identified, scored and ranked, it becomes easier for the decision-makers to prioritize risks that need immediate attention. They can thus allocate resources more effectively which leads to enhanced risk management.
- Have Better Communication: BowTie diagrams provide a simple yet effective tool for communicating risk management strategies across the organization. They can be easily explained to all levels of employees, fostering a culture of risk awareness.
