RISK
MANAGEMENT FOR ENGINEERS
Overview:
The seminar provides an overview of Engineering Risk Management
fundamentals, Risk Management Frameworks such as the Enterprise Risk
Management (ISO 31000) and Systems Engineering Risk Management for
engineers.
Target
Audience: Engineers, Managers
(portfolio, program,
and project), Executive stakeholders, Risk analysts, compliance and
internal auditors,
independent practitioners
Prerequisite:
NONE…However,
as an IEEE member, you may have missed the Risk Management for Engineer
Webinar which IEEE-USA recently held. You may want to review
the following webinar prior to attending so you can fully
participate. See http://www.ieeeusa.org/careers/webinars/2010/webinar-07-15-10.html
Objectives:
To help you understand current risk management approach to cover
technical, operational, social, environmental, economic and political
risks and the management strategies to deal with such risks. This
presentation will provide first the risk management context by defining
risk management and a generic continuous risk management approach for
organisation that can be applied to engineering development initiatives
in order to increase chances of success. This portion will also discuss
the tools that are available along with lessons
learned.
The risk management for engineer seminar provides an overview of risk
management and walks the participants through a step-by-step process to
identify, evaluate and develop risk handling strategies and responses
and appreciate the organisational level implications of enterprise risk
management.
Knowledge
and skills you will gain:
Understand the importance of risk management. Assess systems risk.
Describe the characteristics of risk. Describe the benefits of using
risk management techniques. Understand the role of Systems engineers in
risk management. Illustrate the risk management process. Analyze and
Classify risks. Evaluate/prioritize risks. Develop risk mitigation
strategies. Describe risk tracking/monitoring methods used to document
and update risk and program plans. Analyze and Classify
risks.
Evaluate/prioritize risks. Develop risk mitigation strategies. Describe
risk tracking/monitoring methods used to document and update risk and
plans.

covered:
Risk management definitions,
techniques and process, ISO 31000.

Presenters:
Dr. Jean
Couillard received
the Ph.D. degree in Operations and
Decisions Science in 1987, and the MBA degree in 1979, both from the
Université Laval, Québec, Canada. He is Associate
Professor at the Faculty of Administration of the University of Ottawa,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He concentrates his research in the areas of
project management, project risk management, and quality management.
Professor Couillard’s research has been published in several
journals and magazines including IEEE, Transactions on Engineering
Management, Decision Support System: the International Journal, the
European Journal of Operational Research, the Project Management
Journal, and Gestion 2000. Currently, he is involved in the development
and validation of a new approach, the Earned Quality Method, to assess
and control the quality of a project end product throughout its life
cycle. Professor Couillard is a full member of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, and the Project Management
Institute, PMI.
John
Grefford, P.Eng., SMIEEE, PMP,
