Examining Risk Management Strategies and Software Implementation

Part 1 Theory

 Part 1 Theory Consider the following statement: 'Risk managers should mainly focus on the consequences of an event rather than its likelihood as these consequences determine the impact on the business.' You need to: - Examine the interaction between likelihood and consequences and develop an argument either for or against the statement; - Your commentary should contain a critical argument with a brief introduction, stating where you stand and how you argue your case and then finish with a conclusion. - Include an analysis of the role of a business risk manager offer some conclusions as to how prominent the role of the business risk manager should be within the wider management of the business, i.e. when compared with other management functions such as strategy, governance, product development, marketing, finance, operations, etc. - With the support of academic literature, justify how you reached your conclusions. Part 2 Workplace ApplicationCompare and contrast the risk mitigation strategies of retain, transfer or avoid risk. Your discussion should include the key considerations a risk manager should take into account when making such decisions (e.g. cost versus benefit framework). Use your chosen work case problem to generate a working example for each of the three strategies. Recommend the strongest strategy for your chosen work case problem and justify your decision. Part 2  Technology is rapidly changing and improving how we can profile risk. Increasingly this is allowing more sophisticated modelling of risk. The Bowtie approach is set to replace some older methods. This means increasingly software applications such as BowtieXP are becoming available to expedite this process. Hence, your boss has asked you to trial the program and give a report in which you offer a recommendation as to go ahead and implement the program. Your brief is to: 1. Download the Bowtie XP program, enter all your current data and attempt to produce a series of reports in order to examine the software features; 2. Write a report detailing the: a. Background and theoretical foundations of the program; b. Provide Bowtie reports that discuss the features and benefits of the software (insert relevant Bowtie reports and then discuss them individually); c. A final recommendation stating whether the Bowtie analysis is useful and should/ should not be implemented. Part 3 Reflection (4 marks) Provide a reflective summary of your own perception of risk and how your understanding of risk, risk analysis, and risk management has developed over the session. Identify what you consider to be the three critical components of risk and risk management. Communication & Referencing Skills Presentation of the work including: structure, format, grammar and images. • The application of APA 7th referencing RATIONALE back to top SUBJECT LEARNING OUTCOMES This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s: be able to critically interpret the risk management concept and discriminate and appraise different definitions of risk and risk management. be able to assess and critically evaluate the role of the decision maker in risk and the influences of decision making heuristics, bias and risk preference in the risk management process. be able to interpret risk through modelling techniques. be able to determine the probability, frequency and consequences of a risk event occurring. design and implement strategies to diminish risk through the potential to self insure, or to transfer risk using different product solutions. This assessment is designed to reinforce the use of software in assessing risk. Additionally it will assist you to make appropriate strategy decision to manage the risks identified in the second assessment. In addition this assessment aims to bring together the work you have done during the session to a conclusion. You will be required to undertake a reflection of the subject that includes commentary on your risk preference and the development of skills in risk analysis and risk management over the session. GRADUATE LEARNING OUTCOMES This task also contributes to the assessment of the following CSU Graduate Learning Outcome/s: Information and Research Literacies (Skill) - Charles Sturt Graduates demonstrate the skills required to locate, access and critically evaluate existing information and data.

Total marks /35 PRESENTATION back to top Report style It is expected you will follow a formal business report style. Below are guidelines for your report: Begin with an executive summary followed by a table of contents. An introduction is then written before the main body of your report. The end of your report should include a conclusion. The report should finish with your references (not a bibliography) followed by any appendices you may have used; Headings and sub-headings should be used; Be consistent in your layout and the use of font sizes and spacing between paragraphs; Your reference list should contain all source documents that you refer to, quote or paraphrase from. It must conform to the APA referencing style referred to in the assessment information section. The font should be between 10-12pt size and be an open faced type such as Arial or Calibri; The line spacing should be 1.5; Left-justify the text; Most importantly, always proofread your work using a spell-checker and remember this does not pick up all errors. Do not submit PDF's. These will be returned without feedback REQUIREMENTS back to top NB:To be eligible for an Additional Assessment on a margin fail grade at the end of session (i.e. cumulative mark is between 45-49.5), all assessments must be submitted.
