An integrated approach to risk management

A new and exciting approach to engage your people in risk management

Discover our innovative risk management tool, designed to raise awareness, increase understanding, create buy-in and generate action in your organisation.

What it delivers…Using a simulation approach, Risk Manager™ is an interactive and easy way of bringing to life:

• The link between effective risk management and improved business performance

• The consequences of not taking an integrated approach to risk management at a site or business unit level

• The value of proactive risk and control management

• The short and long term impacts of risk

As a result, participants learn:

• The importance of taking into account ALL risks when managing an operation

• That the choices and decisions they make in managing risk have a direct impact on performance

• The benefits of using a 5x5 matrix when assessing critical risk

• A more holistic and cohesive approach to risk management

Risk Manager™ is…A board-based simulation which:• Reflects the decisions and

choices that need to be made to effectively manage critical business risks.

• Enables management teams to experience what taking an integrated approach to managing risk means in practice.

• Raises awareness of the opportunities that managing the business through a risk management ‘lens’ delivers e.g. competitive advantage, sustainability.

Target audiences... Managers and supervisors working at a site level to understand how to proactively manage risk in their part of the organisation.Managers at a business unit level to understand the ‘big picture’ of how risk is managed in the organisation.

“We have seen a significant uptake in managers implementing our Group Standards on Integrated Risk Management as this simulation has given them a much better understanding of the very real consequences of not managing their risks well.”

Materials…The materials are highly-visual and engaging. They are provided in a box for four participants and comprise:• Simulation board, which includes a 5x5 matrix• Site or business unit profile for

fictitious organisation• Operational or corporate risk matrices • Site or business unit risk and

opportunity cards and wild cards• Performance dashboard• Scorecard• Money• Action planning worksheet

The simulation is currently available for the oil and gas industry (downstream) and the mining industry, and is available in site or business unit versions.

The learning process…In Risk Manager™, participants are tasked with advising a business on how to improve performance through improving the management of critical risks. Using a board-based simulation, participants work together in teams of 3-4 to discuss issues, complete activities and identify actions.

1. Assess risks and prioritise

Participants are given information about a fictitious organisation to enable them to assess potential risks.They must then review and assess a range of specific risks and opportunities and prioritise which to act on now and which to leave till later, using a 5x5 matrix and limited available resources.

2. Review impact on performance

Participants review their choices and discover what impact (positive or negative) they have on key areas of the business.Participants must improve performance across ALL areas to succeed.

3. Wild cardsWild cards are introduced which further impact performance in different areas depending on which risks were prioritised. This highlights the need for participants to consider both the short and long term impact of their decisions.

4. Review and apply to their organisation

Participants evaluate their performance and discuss the key learning points.They then have the opportunity to identify critical risks in their organisation, assess the consequences of not mitigating those risks, identify potential opportunities and prioritise which to act on.
