Risk management

Previous step Next slide
There is a tendency to revert to old ways - an inertia associated with organisations to do what they always felt happier with.

You may wish to consider the following when looking at how the potential market delivery organisations might perform in the new market structure. You will need to:

  • Devise a set of tests to draw out the risks (for example have "they" the capacity to do it? -  see below);
  • Examine those risks that score the lowest;
  • Decide whether issues identified can be addressed or consider removing them from the market management approach.

One of the approaches for examining a market has involved a set of five areas to question ("5 Cs") in order to assess potential for delivery performance. These are:

  • Capacity of organisations to respond effectively to the planned market shape in terms of:
    -their financial resources
    -their management bandwidth;
    -their relevant assets and facilities;
    -their technical and professional skills; and
    -other critical areas (such as geographical location).
  • Scope for creativity / Innovation
    -looking beyond the requirement;
    ·-looking beyond the scope of the market;
    -interesting and different solutions being considered.
  • Change Catalyst
    -the willingness to engage and work with change;
    -showing a way ahead;
    -helping to develop the stepping stones;
    -breaking down barriers.
  • Coherence
    -within the organisation's concept;
    -within the standards.
  • Customers
    -appreciation of their needs.

The principles of good risk management are documented on OGC's website.
