Scenario
Your task is to develop a risk management proposal for a
specific industry. The industry can be one that you are currently working for
or an industry of your interest. The industry can produce products, provide a
service, be a utility company, a government authority, construction/civil, IT,
an educational institution, basically any company or industry in which you have
a specific interest in or work for.
As an employee of the company and in a supervisory role you
have been asked to provide a ‘proposal’ for a Risk Management Plan covering a
new product, service and/or project. The proposal is to be presented to the
Company Executives, at their monthly meeting on 13 October 2015.
Requirements
Written report
You are required to develop a report containing:
1. A profile of the Company / Industry selected for this
task. The profile should state the company / industry, what they actually do,
such as products or services. This section of the report should be titled The
Company Profile and be a maximum of 2 pages.
2. A brief business case addressing the following:
• The feasibility of a risk study (brief summary of major
reasons for the proposal)
• Terms of reference for the proposal (what must be carried
out by the risk management team. It should discuss the background and specifies
the scope of the activities, states the main motives for the proposal and the
questions asked. It sums up available knowledge and outlines evaluation methods
and the distribution of work, schedule and the responsibilities among the
people participating in a process. In brief statements). Keep in mind this is a
presentation by you to the company executives
• Project team (who should be members of the working risk
management team specific for your industry).
3. The risk/s specifically related to your company (or
industry) and its products and/or services is anything that is likely to
adversely affect the company’s objectives (such as specification, requirements,
benefits, schedules, budgets, deliverables) just to give you a few examples
(Remember your list should be representative of your industry).
4. An assessment of each risk's likelihood and consequence
in terms of:
• Low
• Medium
• High
• Very high;
and a risk ranking based on a semi-quantitative approach.
5. Assigned priorities for the risks (risk evaluation). How
you present this is how you will convince the executives of the company that
your Risk Management Proposal should be approved.
6. A description of your proposed risk management process
including the following areas:
• The steps you plan on taking in your risk management plan
(what you and the team will do)
• Any rules and responsibilities required to carry out the
proposal such as how to identify, how to do the review of each risk, and how to
assign risk actions for risk minimisation.
7. A list of each of the risk management documents that you
will develop as part of the process. You must explain the purpose and content
of each document.
As part your assignment you must list any resources that were
used in formulating your proposal
(appropriately referenced). As you are developing the
proposal for the executive team of the company, the maximum pages for the
proposal is TEN (approximately 4000 words), it is important to present your
proposal in a concise, easy to follow, well organized format. There is no
specific template to how you develop the proposal as it will vary depending on
the industry you have chosen.
