We offer a range of services to help you at
every stage of project development from conceptualising opportunities
to implementing and exploiting the assets created.
We tailor our services according to the level
of risk management experience in your organisation. Click one
of the four images below for further details.
At the organisational level we help ensure the processes you
have in place are appropriate for your business.
We can help you assess the effectiveness and maturity of your
project development structures and processes, and develop or
modify those processes to generate better and more consistent
outcomes that are compatible with modern governance requirements.
The processes need to be integrated with the way in which you
manage your business and your projects, and your organisational
culture.
PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT

approach to risk management for major projects.
There's More to Risk Management than Project
Risks
Project risks are perhaps the most evident of all risks, insofar
as projects focus on a specific outcome that is by no means a
foregone conclusion. Accordingly, projects tend to attract the
most concentration in terms of risk management.
Risks are not certainly not limited to projects alone, however.
Every significant change in infrastructure or environment carries
greater or lesser risks to the long term viability of an organisation.
Without the support of suitable methods it can be very difficult
to understand where the most serious threats will arise and how
to counter them.
Strategic Risk Management
Strategic risk management supports the strategic planning and
development processes of an organisation. The underlying
approaches used are essentially the same as for project risk
management but the context and the terms in which the process
is conducted reflect the timescale and breadth of strategic concerns.
The analysis is readily extended to include opportunities as
well as risks and bring the structured brainstorming discipline
we use for risk identification into the early part of strategic
planning.
The benefits of risk assessment in a strategic setting mirror
the benefits for projects. They include clarity about the
issues and their relative priority as well as realistic assessments
of numerical outcomes, such as revenue and profit performance,
where quantitative methods (see left) are exploited.
Procurement Issues
We also advise on major procurement issues, including:
- outsourcing,
- design of management structures,
- contracting strategies and,
- supplier liability risk assessment.

Spatial Risk Analysis and Modelling
Spatial risk analysis and modelling are dynamic new fields concerned with mapping and evaluating the spatial predictors of risk. These techniques have been applied extensively to evaluate the spread of emerging pests and diseases and ecological risks. They have also been used to evaluate the impacts associated with climate change, and to optimise market research and other spatially dependent business applications.

MENTORING

Facilitation
Facilitation is one of Broadleaf’s core capabilities.
We recognise that you and your team have the best understanding
of your business and the environment in which it operates.
Our skills are in structuring assignments to allow your knowledge
to be applied effectively in pursuit of your aims and objectives.
In risk management, this often involves facilitating risk assessments,
to generate a register of risks and opportunities, with priorities
that have been agreed by the management team, as a prelude to
developing action plans for reducing the risks and capturing
the opportunities. Such a risk and opportunity register and the
action plans that flow from it may be sufficient for many purposes.
Qualitative risk assessments of this kind are a necessary starting
point for quantitative risk analysis of costs and schedules,
for developing negotiating strategies and tactics, and for setting
priorities for matters to be included in contract documents.
You understand your business, but you may not always be fully
aware of the risks that may prevent you from achieving your objectives.
We can help you understand your business risks in a structured
way by asking the right questions and generating a framework
that enables you to set meaningful priorities.
VALUE IMPROVING PRACTICES
Broadleaf offers support for Value Improving
Practices (VIPs), which are recommended for implementation at
the early stages of a project. Click on the image below for our
PDF which explains the principles and processes of VIPs.
Organisational Risk Management
Every organisation has objectives and plans for achieving them,
even if the plan is just to carry on as usual. Any plan
faces risks and a risk management process is an efficient part
of optimising organisational plans and keeping them on track.
Explicit attention to risk is also a concrete indication of
a professional management approach that will help satisfy external
scrutineers that you are discharging your duties as you should.
Organisational risk management overlaps to some extent with
internal audit activity. A risk management process based
on the Standard AS/NZS4360 (see left) offers a more effective
approach to the creative task of risk identification than traditional
audit checklists and provides a realistic basis for prioritising
risks.
QUANTITATIVE RISK MODELLING
We make extensive use of quantitative risk
modelling techniques in our risk assessment services. Click on

Climate Change Risk Management
We offer a comprehensive climate change risk management service for government and industry.
