This document summarizes a presentation given by Peter Wilkinson at the National Conference & Exhibition 2014 titled "A Black Swan in the Gulf of Mexico?". The presentation discusses the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and whether it should be considered a black swan event. While blowouts are a known risk in oil and gas drilling, the specific failures that led to the Deepwater Horizon spill were foreseeable as the necessary risk controls were not properly applied. The presentation also discusses broader lessons around risk framing and overreliance on multiple risk controls.
This document summarizes a national conference on probity and integrity. It discusses definitions of probity and integrity, different individual approaches to ethics, how probity relates to law, key legal cases establishing the concept of a "process contract" for government entities, and constructs of probity within integrity such as fairness and accountability. It also identifies and examines various areas of probity risk for procurement processes, including conflicts of interest, undue influence, transparency, and contract issues. Finally, it questions the effectiveness of traditional risk assessment for probity risks due to human factors and lack of consensus on integrity.

Andrea Kanserski presented on designing and implementing an integrated corporate governance framework at Gallagher Bassett. The presentation covered:
1. An overview of Gallagher Bassett, including its accountability and responsibility framework and 5-year risk plan.
2. Details of Gallagher Bassett's risk maturity assessment, which has improved from "ad hoc" to "managed" over 6 years through initiatives like its corporate governance framework.
3. The goals and strategies of Gallagher Bassett's risk culture and communication approaches, which aim to ensure staff ownership of risk management practices.
This document discusses how safety is often overlooked in enterprise risk management. While risk managers see safety as important, it does not clearly fit into traditional categories of financial, market, or operational risk. When safety is not properly considered, disasters can occur. The document argues that risk managers should take a broader view and directly evaluate safety as a risk, rather than assuming it is managed elsewhere, in order to avoid failures that have wide-ranging negative consequences.
This document discusses ethics in decision making and risk taking. It covers several topics:
- The relationship between ethics, values, and knowledge. Values are prior to ethics and ethics involves acting consistently with one's values.
- Different perspectives on risk from an epistemological and clinical perspective. Risk is defined as the probability of a negative event.
- The need for an ethics of risk that is descriptive, uses clear language, acknowledges limits of knowledge, and focuses on risk mitigation rather than just assessment.
This document outlines the agenda for the National Conference & Exhibition 2014. It lists the platinum, silver, and bronze sponsors and the sponsor of the Risk Manager of the Year Award. The rest of the document consists of slides from various speakers at the conference on topics related to transforming underperforming workers' compensation schemes.
The document outlines Peter Moore's presentation on creating value through enterprise risk management. It discusses barriers to success like poor frameworks and engagement. It also covers risk management frameworks, focusing on simplicity and intuitiveness. Other sections explain risk appetite and tolerance, integrating risk management into business processes, and using key risk indicators to monitor risks. The goal is to establish a clear risk framework that creates value by better informing decision-making and resource allocation.
The document discusses strategy, selection and implementation of risk technology. It provides an overview of using a risk capability maturity model to guide the development of an integrated governance, risk and compliance (GRC) framework. It emphasizes establishing a common enterprise risk language and processes, and integrating source systems and risk data through technology to provide a single source of truth and improve risk management effectiveness.
This document outlines the agenda for the National Conference & Exhibition 2014 on optimising risk financing in major capital projects. The agenda includes discussions on key considerations for risk financing major projects, traditional insurance obligations, lessons learned and latest trends, best practices for insurance procurement, and takeaways for strategic solutions. The conference will address topics such as project objectives, risk profiles, contractual frameworks, insurance strategies, and total cost of risk management.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Nish Chandra of LKA Group at the National Conference & Exhibition 2014 about complex claims. Complex claims can involve large losses, contaminated sites, multiple parties, heritage buildings, or potential mold issues. A mold claim was used as a case study to illustrate how a claim that initially seemed minor grew to $50k as more extensive damage was discovered. The presentation stresses the importance of using experts, not rushing decisions, considering future litigation risks, and realizing that claims may become complex even if they first appear minor. Proper claims handling requires qualified loss adjusters and considering all factors, not just initial cost savings.
The document discusses emerging issues for workers' compensation managers according to Ben Reynolds from Leighton Contractors Pty Limited. Some key issues are limited resources due to funding constraints, potential impacts from changes to the Comcare program, shifting from claims management to injury management approaches, challenges in maintaining sustainable provider networks, and implications of ongoing workers' compensation scheme changes across several Australian states and territories. Reynolds encourages considering these issues and finding solutions tailored to each individual organization and stakeholder needs.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Editor's Notes
Two corrugated copper life buoys with 100 fathoms inch and half rope placed in boxes north and South of the Maroochy River following the postponement of a land sale due a fatal boating accident at the heads.
Within days of the need to rescue 5 young girls and a young man at Greenmount
13 Clubs represented without recognition of Pt Danger Branch such as the Royal v Surf politics
With the assistance of 2 other typistes – 1966 1st Administrator appointed
Staff spread across the state, with a majority of them based at Surf Rescue House in Brisbane
Changing from a NFP to a commercially minded organisation as well as a real player in the DM/EM sphere
With a non-professional board, the level of understanding of RM at a SLSQ level is varied
Wanting ERM versus actually understanding the importance is a risk in itself, its like knowing you have a leaking pipe, calling a plumber and expecting that this si the final solution, without realising that the plumber may have to dig up your yard to fix the leak properly.
Engaging consultants was seen initially as a good way to proceed, but as the consultants began to “review the risks” they did not understand the business and wanted to suggest a software solution.
The risk register that the consultants formulated was 90% safety, yet when SLSQ appointed the ERM and the managers were asked what they saw as the top 4-5 risks in their portfolio areas; safety was around 21% of the risks.
When RM has been mentioned at a operational or tactical level; that is for the clubs; they saw it was all about SAFETY… this is one of the greater challenges, getting them to understand that SAFETY does not equal RISK.
To get risk management embedded and to work on removing the perception of SAFETY=RISK we developed a set of four key risk categories that linked to a set of sub categories and risk triggers.
There were several risk matrices in use across SLSQ and none of these linked to each other, so the development and rollout of a one risk matrix was seen as a step forward
The likelihood and consequence descriptors for the risk matrix were changed to link directly to the 4 risk catgeories
With RM in this scope something new as far as SLSQ was concerned, we felt that we needed to approach the development of a risk appetite, slightly differently to other organisations.
We began by creating a risk appetite questionnaire that was broken into three separate parts:
Risk Profile (Self Assessment)
Risk Profile (Response Assessment)
Risk Appetite, Limitation and Strategic Importance
The first two parts were completed by Board members, Senior Management, Management Group and some staff and volunteers; with the third part done by the board and SMG only
What this gave us was a unique snapshot and essentially a “line in the sand” of SLSQ’s risk appetite from four different parts of the business, it also assisted the board to reach middle ground when it came to determining risk appetite, because of the board members’ diverse backgrounds creating a variety of responses.
This also added as a catalyst to change for several of the business areas with staff and managers beginning to automatically embed Risk Management into their daily process without realising.
The final stage will see the development and rollout of a series of sustainment programs that will enable risk management to be BAU.
