Thanks Mark Yes this is the model that I used in my Board work. We also use something like this at CSU – I can’t find it at the moment so I have attached the one for Uni of Adelaide.

It comes down to what could go wrong, so that you have plans in place to deal with eventualities. Also awareness to notice issues before they get out of hand. Some of these are quite basic, such as what happens if there is a flood, power failure, financial crisis or whatever. This is a big deal for pilots, where accidents happen when things aren't under control. Airline risks are usually OK until two or more things go wrong at once, leading to accidents. < p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;">From my perspective, contradictions focus more on the underlying things, while most risk management is fairly objective. People in risk management do brainstorming and classifying risks, so that could look like an issues workshop. So there is some overlap. Over time, especially with the introduction of ISO 31000, risk management has moved to cover more systemic issues, so this would also feed the overlap with contradictions you have noticed. Wikipedia has good coverage of risk management<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_management>. Cheers Charles ._,_.___ ________________________________ Posted by: frank bremner <fjbremner@hotmail.com<mailto:fjbremner@hotmail.com>> G'day colleagues I'm on a bit of a "high", having been to a concert with Burt Bacharach last night - two hours, no interval, and almost every Bacharach song you could think of - even back to Liberty Valance and 24 Hours from Tulsa. Great backing musicians (about a dozen) and singers (three plus some of the musicians). And at almost half-price, thanks to a group called Lasttix, who promote slow-selling shows. Anyway, down to business. I've been helping a friend doing a TAFE-level course in Man aging Risk. (TAFE = Technical and Further Education > similar to the US community college.) I've not touched "risk" in this context before. Has anyone done so? Risk Management, from the "management" area, seems to overlap with the area we used to call Contradictions. Any reflections?
