How We Do It

The Risk Management process employed by RM4HD explicitly draws upon the knowledge and experience of your colleagues already in place in order to achieve the best informed and most achievable management plan for achieving development and humanitarian outcomes in your particular environment.

Consistent with best practice in the commercial sector, and drawing heavily on ISO 31,000:2009, the process understands risk to be the effect of uncertainty on programme objectives, and places as much effort on maximising positive risk (opportunities) as it does minimising negative risk (threats).

Testimonials

Mark from RM4HD was with our team for less than two weeks, but if we had the time I would have kept him there for a month. Save the Children is delivering a $42million, four year project in Uruzgan Province - one of the most troubled in Afghanistan - and we were seeking an experienced Risk Manager to advise our team on Project Risk Management in complex environments like Uruzgan. We were seeking advice on project delivery that did not compromise our values as a humanitarian organisation or undermine our implementation of an Acceptance Model for security management. Through Mark's iterative process of Context, Threat and Vulnerability analysis he facilitated a process which ensured the buy-in of key staff through their active participation in what he calls 'Problem Identification'. From there it was a simple process for him to create the prioritised measures that need to be put in place - 'solution identification'. The best thing about everyone being involved in the process, including the staff of partner organisations is that there is now a common reference point when discussing matters of staff safety or project risk and the budgetary/process/profile implications. Mark's years of experience as a Security Officer with humanitarian and development organisations in complex environments came to the fore in working with our staff.
