Order Description
1) Identify an organisation and discuss how it identifies, addresses and manages risks (on a scale of your choice) over a period of time in which the risks facing the organisation are changing.
Critically discuss the organisation’s risk management processes and make recommendations for improvement.
2) Identify a project, successful or not, and discuss how project risk and uncertainty was managed by the major stakeholders. Critically discuss the tools and techniques used in the project and
reflect on their suitability, particularly with reference to issues of coordination of stakeholders.
3) Choose an incident in which existing risk management measures did not prevent a failure. Analyse and critically discuss what went wrong, what alternate measures might have been used, linking
your discussion to the literature on accidents.
4) Choose a contested technology and discuss how different conceptions of risk (i.e. probabilistic, psychometric, cultural etc) have shaped the public debate about adoption and diffusion of the
technology.
