Risk Management for Organizations: Keeping the Ship Afloat

Rick Curtis
The concept of risk management is one that has to encompass the whole of your programme, from the first day of planning a new activity, through to the last piece of gear that is put away when the trip is over.
Managing Risk throughout an organization requires that all levels of programme and administrative staff understand the importance and the interconnections of their efforts. It is such a huge task and involves so many different players in your organization that it's often hard to make sure that all the jobs get done, and done well.
The goal of the Rick's workshop was to give a framework to operate from that will help staff both vision and envision how risk management should permeate your organization.
Keeping the Ship Afloat presents a metaphor for organizational risk management that encompasses five stages of programme development and implementation: assessment, planning and developing the programme, selecting & training staff, running the programme and finally reviewing and evaluating the programme.
The workshop included both presentation and small group discussion on developing an effective overall risk management strategy.
