Workshop: Wednesday 31 August 2016

Turning the risk management process into something really useful, that creates value and stimulates organisational successWhile the risk management process is supposed to emulate the natural thought process we all follow to some degree when preparing for a decision and then making sure it remains valid, in practice it is often very cumbersome and unreliable. This seems mostly because people and their organisations don’t appreciate, fundamentally, what each step of the process is supposed to do and how they work together. The steps are seen just headings on a diagram or as cells in a spreadsheet that have to be filled in. At a result, in many organisations risk management is seen as a chore that has little relevance to day to day management; it often becomes a once-a-year activity where an existing risk register is laboriously ‘reviewed’, generating little tangible benefit. No wonder its sometimes called ‘list management’ rather than risk management!Although its over 20 years since New Zealand with Australia created the first, national standard, many organisations still struggle to make sense of risk management with that term becoming a metaphor for stopping people doing what they want to do, rather than something that can aid innovation and foster success. This workshop is completely practical and is based on Grant Purdy’s 39 years of experience helping organisations of all sizes and types throughout the world improve decision making by being better at understanding and responding to uncertainty. During the full day workshop, we will consider each of the formal steps of the risk management process that:

• Involves people who can and must contribute to a decision;• Defines and appreciates the assumptions being made;• Tests out those assumptions by postulating scenarios in

terms of what could happen and the potential implicationsfor an organisation’s objectives;

• Understands the uncertainties involved;• Decides on how much uncertainty is acceptable and,

therefore, how greater certainty could be obtained;• Monitors outcomes and any assumptions made to ensure

decisions remain valid.While the workshop will follow the AS/NZS ISO 31000 risk management standard, we will avoid arcane ‘risk speak’. We will use simple terms and concepts, with many real examples to demonstrate how the process can easily become an integral part of any decision making process. Particularly, we will also address some current, conceptual artefacts such a ‘risk appetite’, ‘risk registers’ and ‘key risk indicators’. These will be translated into rational concepts and practical applications that can be used to aid rather than hinder organisational performance.
