Three Easy Steps to Risk Management
Category: Risk Management | Feb 25, 2010 |
“All project management is risk management” (Eric Verzuh) Risk management is an essential activity in any project or organisation. Risk is defined by M_o_R (Management of Risk, the OGC risk management methodology) as uncertainty of outcome. A risk manager is concerned with managing the risks (uncertain issues and incidents) that, were they to occur, would affect the product or services that an organisation sets out to deliver. The M_o_R framework highlights three basic steps to effective risk management that can be applied within an organisational or project context: • Identify The first step of risk management is risk identification. This includes naming and describing any risk that might affect the achievement of objectives, to ensure that there is a common understanding of these risks among all appropriate individuals involved in the organisation or project activity. Techniques for identifying risks will differ according to the size and structure of the organisation, the nature of the activity or project and the experience of the risk management team. For example, risk management within a small software organisation may involve brain-storming and discussing potential risks to the project, based on the expertise of the developers involved. A large government body, on the other hand, might draw on the experience of risk management experts who have dealt with risks across a range of similar organisations. Project managers responsible for risks to a technical activity might call on the authority of experts to highlight the relevant risks. • Assess Evaluation is critical to successful risk management. Without critical analysis of the risks identified in step one, the risk manager may fatally underestimate the potential impact of one particular risk, or (also fatally) attempt to combat each and every risk, without considering how likely it is that a risk will occur. The two factors that must be considered in risk analysis are: o probability o potential impact Individuals responsible for managing risks must also be aware of the organisational context of the risks. For example: Risk A may have a greater impact on Output 1 than the effect of Risk B on Output 2. However, if Output 2 is more important than Output 1 to the overall objectives, then Risk B may be considered more important than Risk A. Ranking risks according to immediacy, impact and organisational context enables the risk manager to prioritise and plan how individual risks will be controlled. • ?Control The risk manager needs to identify the appropriate response to a risk and assign a risk owner, who ensures that the risk response is carried out, monitored and controlled.

As a student of Van Tharp I found the program an excellent tool but more important it seemed to simplified so much and it works. I highly recommend anyone trading shares try it out. I use Metastock data from Equis in the US but understand it is compatible with Metastock format data from any supplier.

This one integrates with my metastock data and allows for short selling. brilliant and huge time saver!

Understanding and allocation of risks involved in any investment or work is called risk management. First, you need to do a thorough study of the subject to understand the risks involved. Then for each risk you choose a way to allocate it such as buying insurance or having some contractual obligations for other parties involved in the work or the investment.
If some competent engineer/analyst has done a FMECA or FMEA, an FTA, and other safety analyses. AND, these analyses have been peer-reviewed and corrected (if necessary), then I see no need for further modelling.
If the system in question is dynamic (changing part types, changing design, changing configuration), then yes, an ongoing model with a full-time or most-time risk manager may be necessary.
Even if the risk manager is not doing his/her job, a continuing model wouldn't be necessary. A simple peer review of the existing models and analyses would be all that is necessary.

First you need to learn to spell interpretation correctly. Mistakes like that in a resume are really damaging.
You may find a course at a community college. I took one from Dun & Bradstreet by correspondence years and years ago and found it quite helpful.
In business, the term operational risk management (ORM) is the oversight of many forms of day-to-day operational risk including the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. Operational risk does not include market risk or credit risk.
Good for you. But there is no such thing as MBA in risk management, or MBA in marketing, of MBA in finance. The MBA is a general broad degree covering a wide variety of business issues and training students for careers in managing any area of business up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, statistics, management, economics, strategy, policy, leadership and similar courses. The MBA was developed because people with technical backgrounds getting promoted into management are not always able to manage, and people in management often don't understand the technical fields they manage. That's why MBA programs prefer students with degrees in other than business and with 2-4 years of work experience. Their graduates learn to manage and can speak the language of the people they manage, whether that is engineering, chemistry, medicine, music, or any other field.
Many MBA programs offer concentrations, but this usually amounts to 2-3 elective courses in a specific field in the second year of the program. So don't worry about a concentration but be careful in choosing the right program. If you find one with Risk Management courses, consider the quality of the school first, and the concentration second.
Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
You'd do a lot better researching the general principles of risk management strategy before asking individual insurers (it's a huge subject)
You can read up on various principles through the IAIS which is pretty much the lead organisation in the world for setting requirements for insurers.

Also ..a personal tip …. although obviously rules are different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, some of the most comprehensive and yet concise I've seen are the Australian ones (they are very hot on risk management in Aus).
You can read the guidance notes here….

That way you can target your questions and get a much better response
What is Quality Assurance?
The answer will be something along the lines of fitness for purpose.
Also, perhaps you could do a bit of research on the Prince2 project methodology…….it covers all of the areas you are interested in.
