Best Practice Risk management solutions, helping you to reduce risks and exploit opportunities in your business, programmes and projects.

Society for Cost Analysis and Forecasting - Workshop

Tuesday 9th February 2010, Royal Institute of Naval Architects, Victoria, London

Val Jonas, CEO from Risk Decisions Group will be participating in this event as a speaker and will deliver the presentation "How do you get a Return on Investment from Risk Management?" just after the lunch break at 13:30pm.


Everyone agrees managing risk is a good thing, but it has traditionally been very hard to justify proactive expenditure on risk management activities.  It is difficult to convince an organisation to expend valuable resources on mitigating the impact of perceived future events that may, or may not occur.  Additionally, after taking proactive action, how does the risk practitioner quantify the benefits realised?  However, there are ways to convince your senior managers that you can measure the value of risk management.  And more importantly, you can show proactive risk management action, the organisation is probably going to be in for some rather unpleasant surprises.


This presentation provides a practical view on how to measure the value of risk management using Return on Investment (ROI), building up an example in a series of steps: performance based contracting, the effects of late delivery on ROI, the effect of risk events on ROI and measuring the value of risk management using a series of what-ifs.
