Ad hoc risk management often works well during periods of exceptional staff motivation:

• moving into new technologies,
• novel contracting arrangements,
• new markets and
• scaling up operations. 

Such motivation can not be sustained indefinitely, though. Additionally, attempts to replicate it across several projects or work areas often result in a fragmented, excessively effortful and ultimately ineffective approach.  Such inefficiencies can be used by opponents as a reason to backtrack and revert to earlier, even riskier, practices.

Broadleaf is able to integrate risk management into an existing business framework in a truly efficient and cost-effective way. We design effective risk management processes, integrating them seamlessly across projects and work areas, while taking account of the needs of the organisation and ensuring that all prerequisites for competent risk management are properly established.

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLES

The issue of process development is discussed in detail in one of our books: Applying Risk Management Techniques to Complex Procurement.
