Why ORM?

To Ensure Necessary Risks are Taken

• ORM:
• Is an important tool for training realism
• Provides potential to expand capabilities
• Assures necessary risk taking to enhance
superiority

4 KEY ORM
PRINCIPLES
1. Accept no unnecessary risks.
2. Make risk decisions at the appropriate
level.
3. Accept risks when benefits outweigh
costs.
4. Integrate ORM into doctrine and
planning at all levels.

1. Accept No Unnecessary Risks
BUT.... NOBODY TAKES
“UNNECESSARY” RISKS?

If all the hazards that could have been
detected have not been detected then
unnecessary risks are being accepted.
The single greatest advantage of ORM over
traditional risk management is the consistent
detection of 50%+ more hazards.
2. Make Risk Decisions at the
Appropriate Level
Factors below become basis of a decisionmaking system to guide leaders
• Who will answer in the event of a mishap?
• Who is the senior person at the scene?
• Who possesses best insight into the full benefits and costs of a
risk?
• Who has the resources to mitigate the risk?
• What level makes the most operational sense?
• What level makes these types of decisions in other activities?
• Who will have to make this decision in combat operations?
3. Accept Risks When Benefits
Outweigh Costs.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ORGANIZATION
STOPS TAKING RISKS?
WEBSTER: “BUREAUCRACY: A system of administration
characterized by lack of initiative and flexibility, by indifference
to human needs or public opinion, and by a tendency to defer
decisions to superiors or to impede action with red tape.”
MAINTAINING A BOLD, RISK-TAKING
ORGANIZATION IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE
WHEN YOUR UNIT IS NOT ON A MISSION.
ORM HELPS.

Planning At All Levels.

WHY INTEGRATION IS
CRITICAL?
Integration:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Forces balancing of loss control and other mission
needs
Captures more of the knowledge and experience of large
numbers of operators
Reduces the number and diversity of references needed
to do the job right
Eliminates redundancy and gaps between loss control
functions
Strengthens accountability
Reduces costs and workloads (in plans, materiel
development cycles, etc.)

Editor's Notes

  • #6 KEY POINTS: * Understanding the pyramid: - Left side is risk reduction. - Right side is opportunity-risk. * ORM will significantly alter the traditional distribution of effort. More impact on the right side, more emphasis on prevent (performance) rather than simply compliance. STUDENT NOTES: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
  • #7 KEY POINTS: * By understanding these key ideas, you understand the basis of ORM.

  • #9 KEY POINTS: * In our discussion of step four - Make Control Decisions, we will outline the procedures for building effective risk control decisions systems in your organization. These systems resolve these various factors into a consistent routine process.

  • #10 KEY POINTS: * In the late 1960’s, the USAF failed to take the risks associated with realistic air-to-air combat. As a result, the kill ratio with the NV Air Force reached nearly 1 to 1. The risks were taken when Red Flag was developed. - Result: The kill ratio quickly increased to a favorable 10 to 1 or more. ORM can assure that we never make a similar mistake.

  • #13 KEY POINTS: * ORM is a systems based concept. This means that ORM users understand that operational mistakes and errors have their origin in the design of the system (man, machine, media, management) and that mission success depends on overall system effectiveness. * We will refer to this model at several points in the six step process. It is a key concept of ORM.

  • #37 We’ll cover system safety. Notice the similarities to ORM. It is in fact the predecessor of ORM - many of the gurus of ORM got their start in system safety. AFMC has identified it’s system safety guys as the point men for ORM Why we need it - mishaps, cost vs. benefit, If we keep doing what we’ve been doing we’ll keep getting what we’ve got. There will be some burps in the statistics but overall things won’t change much. A little how it works - again similar in many ways to ORM Where are we going? What are the obstacles in our path? Summary Very briefly - how do you use it?
  • #38 KEY POINTS: * It is these characteristics that are key to the potential of ORM to reduce risk levels up to 90% below current levels.
