Guide to risk management

Drawing up an action plan to deal with prioritised risks

7.1

Following on from the drawing up of the risk register, it will be useful for the parties to consider drawing up and monitoring an action plan (either as a separate document or as a separate column within the risk register - see section 6.)

7.2

The intention is to ensure that continuous action is being taken to prevent/mitigate all serious risks relating to the project rather than the risk register sitting as a passive historical record.

7.3

A brain storming session to identify all projects risks can throw up as many as 100 or more different items. These cannot necessarily be managed in one go. It is recommended that a monthly review is held at which each owner discusses and reviews his top priority risks to be managed for this and the next month. In this way this whole process can more easily be managed and controlled.

7.4

Project champions should be appointed to manage a group of risks either related to a particular trade of discipline or the achievement of a 'secondary' objective listed in the project value hierarchy. The individual champions may set up a risk owners group to meet separately to review the management of risks under the chairmanship of a senior person having overall responsibility for risk management.
