Systemic Risk Management Useful Links
Weblinks
The links below may be of interest. Some describe or offer new, innovative or 'different' risk management methods. Others are well organised web sites that are worth visiting on their own merits.
The comments below each link are simply personal views and are open to challenge. Rather than rely on the comments, please go to the link and find out for yourself.
Please provide comment if you see that a link is not working, does not seem relevent, or if you feel the comments with the links are inaccurate or unfair. Please also feel free to suggest additional links.
The list below is currently very short - please suggest other websites that push the boundaries of risk management thinking.
Systemic Consulting is one of those very few organisations that really does work in the systems thinking space and risk management.
Australian Risk Policy Institute (ARPI)
ARPI is a relative newcomer to the risk management debate. It seems to still endorse the current standards, and yet at the same time it is strongly indicating that the practice of risk management is currently not effective (in Government at least). Watch this space.
The UK website of Dr David Hillson is a significant resource for risk management. Although in large part the risk management wisdom it offers seems to be based upon conventional risk management methods, it is also a website to watch for new ideas. It can be useful to sign up for regular "Briefings" and David's books are well recommended.
Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) Queensland
IPAA Queensland provides Masterclasses in Systemic Risk Management, in the form of a three-day ‘Organisational Risk Leadership’ series. These Masterclasses are facilitated by Dr Richard Barber and tend to run once each year, depending on demand. They have been described by participants as ‘an education, rather than training’ and are suitable for leaders and risk professionals from both the Public and the Private Sectors. For more information, refer to the IPAA Queensland website.
Action Learning and Action Research Association (ALARA)
ALARA is a world-wide association that promotes action learning and action research, as ways to make better decisions and to achieve better outcomes in our complex, interrelated world. Systemic Risk Management includes elements of action learning and action research, especially during the work of identifying, understanding and analysing organisational risks.
This website appears to be out of date (not recently updated). It is included because it provides examples of risk maps that combine risk ratings and risk inter-relationships. Not necessarily valuable, but a 'different' approach.
Organisation Plus rates a link because of its "learning" culture and the capability of its people.
