Integrating Strategy and Risk ManagementAndrew Smart
"A Holistic Approach to Managing Risk amidst Global Uncertainty"
The RMA/Cass Business School
10–14 February 2013
Advanced Risk Management Programme
Organised by Andrew Smart & Nicholas Hawke
In today’s fast-moving, complex environment, risk executives must cultivate an understanding across all risks and businesses. Business problems are multifaceted, interrelated, and increasingly global. Executives must possess enhanced skills to identify and address a wide range of risks with an integrated approach and enterprise-wide perspective.
The RMA/Cass Advanced Risk Management Programme, led by the faculty at Cass, one of the UK’s top business schools, exposes participants to a rigorous, yet inspiring blend of theory, practice and cutting-edge research, instilling knowledge and skills applicable to the real world of global business. In addition to its focus on the known and quantifiable risks of credit, market, and operational, the programme concentrates on the unknowable and difficult to measure risks, including business, strategic, and reputation. Cass has excellent links to the City of London firms and institutions and is able to complement Cass faculty with guest faculty and senior level business practitioners, considered by their peers to be industry thought leaders
Areas of focus for The RMA/Cass Advanced Risk Management Programme include:
• Risk management as a strategic competitive strength
• An integrated approach to risk management
• Fostering a culture and climate that openly communicates risk
• A framework for rapidly responding to known risks and unraveling the complexities of the unknown
• A focus on risk informed by global perspectives.

The recommendations cover four aspects and four sectors. The aspects are transboundary co-operation, processes, planning evidence and stakeholders and platforms.
The sectors include shipping, fisheries, energy and environment. The sector recommendations were formulated based on input from ministries and agencies responsible for shipping, fisheries, energy and environment. For each recommendation, there is a named target group such as policy-makers and planning authorities.

The report "Development of a Maritime Spatial Plan: The Latvian Recipe" is a draft for the maritime spatial plan for the Republic of Latvia. It describes the methodology used in it to include the internal and territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zone in the Maritime Spatial Planning.
During the process, certain priorities took shape: four sector-based and two cross-cutting. The sectors were maritime transport, fishery, tourism and production of renewable energy, while the cross-cutting included environment and state security.

Europe’s seas are a rich and of ten underestimated source of innovation, growth and employment. They provide valuable ecosystem services and resources on which all marine activities depend. Our seas are essential for improving relations, enhancing regional trade and consequently, for the prosperity and development.
Ensuring the sustainable development of the marine and maritime environment requires effective coordination and co-operation between relevant bodies, and actions at all levels.
Governments are called to promote integrated, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral maritime policies.
The strong contribution of maritime sectors to Europe’s economy and the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy must be reinforced by coordinated action to lower costs, improve resource efficiency, reduce risks, support innovation and make better use of public money.
A valid approach to reach these objectives is represented by the Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP), created in 2007, which seeks to provide a more coherent approach to maritime issues, with increased coordination between different policy areas. The IMP is a process addressing all maritime sectors that takes account of competing sectors and interests to provide a coherent unified policy.

Paul Parker - Severn Estuary Partnership / Coastal Partnership Network
A Partnership Approach
Paul Parker has over five years working experience with the Severn Estuary Partnership, helping to build a practical working framework in order to aid the effective cross-border communication of coastal estuarine matters in the Severn Estuary. Paul is currently the acting Chair of the National Coastal Partnership Network after holding the secretary’s post for 2 years. The Coastal Partnership Network aims to encourage the exchange of information and debate between Coastal Partnership Officers on a regular basis, linking Partnership Officers to the wider field and offering increased opportunities for learning and influence. Paul has a background in Marine Geography and completed a Marine Geography Degree at Cardiff University in the Summer of 2008.
This presentation will focus on the Partnership approach to sustainable coastal management, drawing on the past years experiences of both the Severn Estuary Partnership and Coastal Partnership Network. The presentation will also offer a brief analysis of research between the Coastal Partnership Network and Marine Management Organisation exploring how and where Coastal Partnerships can best and better engage in marine planning and coastal management processes in to the future.

Spatial planners work in different contexts and have different objectives depending on which country is in question. That is something that became very clear during our collaboration. Therefore an evaluation framework has to be flexible, so that it can be adapted to different contexts.
The evaluation framework we developed presents a set of criteria and indicators that can be used in future evaluations. It gives methodological guidance for evaluating Maritime Spatial Planning processes, with an emphasis on transboundary aspects. The framework could also be used for designing effective planning processes.

If you want to know how to make maps like these, check out our report Mapping Maritime Activities within the SCOPE Planning Area. It explains the key steps to create shipping density maps, from raw data, cleaning and sorting by month, to making the actual maps. And the code is open source and will be available on GitHub.
The report also includes some reflections on mapping fisheries and renewable energy, mainly wind power, in the Baltic Sea region.
We have processed and made available shipping density maps and data spanning ten years, from year 2006 to 2015. All maps are available through the HELCOM AIS Explorer - http://maps.helcom.fi/website/AISexplorer/index.html.
The maps were created from quality controlled AIS data, Automatic Identification System data. The data allows you to compare the shipping data by months and by ship types.
To make it easier to use the ecosystem approach in Maritime Spatial Planning we made a toolbox. The toolbox contains three checklists. These checklists are useful for authorities and others involved in Maritime Spatial Planning.
Our checklists help you to secure that the key elements of the ecosystem approach are included in your Maritime Spatial Planning. They can also inspire and help you to analyse the extent of common views.

The Baltic SCOPE project was unique – it was the first project to bring together national authorities with a planning mandate to collaborate in transboundary Maritime Spatial Planning, with the aim of identifying cross-border issues and solutions.
As with any pioneering activity, we found a need to adapt to changing circumstances and situations along the way, but we learned considerable lessons from this fluid process. Our lessons can be taken forward to future collaborations in transboundary Maritime Spatial Planning. The lessons might primarily be useful to policymakers, planners and other key stakeholders in Maritime Spatial Planning, in the Baltic Sea and possibly beyond.

Baltic SCOPE – Better Together
The Baltic Sea is among the busiest seas in the world. At the same time, its ecosystem is unique and faces serious challenges. Baltic SCOPE was a project on Maritime Spatial Planning of this sea.
Baltic SCOPE was designed to increase collaboration and coordination between national authorities and other key stakeholders, in order to develop common approaches to solve transboundary issues and enhance the alignment of national maritime spatial plans in the Baltic Sea region.
The two-year project covered four sectors of maritime activities: fishery, shipping, environment and energy. New methods were developed to gather information and develop planning evidence. The project reached its aim and increased the collaboration between the countries involved. The findings we made in Baltic SCOPE can benefit the Baltic Sea, now and in the future.
