How do you design a critical risk framework for a workplace that does every thing imaginable and is also trying to invent a whole lot more? From developing robots that care for cattle and crops, to solving jet lag, to running multi-million dollar construction sites, to buying, storing and using vast quantities of restricted chemicals – how do you identify, assess and control the critical risks of an organisation that does it all…including students building and racing formula race cars?
This presentation will look at some of the challenges and opportunities of bringing critical risk thinking and controls into a hugely diverse risk environment where those engaging in the risk are tasked with finding solutions to the world’s greatest challenges. It will discuss the tension between the drive for simplicity and digestible data in the context of an organisation that values deep expertise and uniqueness.
