Abstract A security advisor for Médecins du Monde France between 2012 and 2016, Emmanuelle Strub recalls her experience and some of the major shifts in risk management in the NGO sector in recent years. In particular, at a time of global normalisation of the aid sector, she describes her own efforts to streamline security management in her organisation: empowering field teams and, in particular, heads of mission, emphasising the crucial role of obtaining consent from the various stakeholders in the countries of intervention, and developing security trainings, crisis-management tools and a risk-management methodology. Yet, she warns, the trend today, with the advent of the duty-of-care concept, is to shift the use of risk management from enabling operations and facilitating access to populations to protecting the organisation from legal or reputational risks.

The paper examines the relationship between the farmers’ operating risk and current subsidies. Focused at the commodity level, the analysis is based on a sample survey of costs and yields of two crops (winter wheat and rapeseed) and two livestock commodities (cow milk and fattening cattle) carried out in 2005–2007 in the Czech Republic. The risk analysis relates to the growing conditions, crop yields and the livestock productivity. The future role of the subsidies as the risk management tool in the farming business, as well as the position of this instrument against the other risk management instruments is analysed. The break even analysis and the Monte Carlo simulation are used as analytical tools. The results indicate that the current subsidies have an impact on the stability of the farmers’ income. Partially or fully decoupled payments serve as a “financial pillow” increasing the level of the farmers’ income and extending the farmers’ decision-making possibilities. Furthermore, the current subsidies reduce the variability of the farmers’ income. The current subsidies are a suitable complement to other commonly used risk management tools primarily designed to reduce the farmers’ and farm income variability.

The role of crop insurance and new risk management tools for agriculture is evolving at an almost dizzying pace. One needs only to examine recent postings on the Risk Management Agency's website to see how expansive this is. Moreover, throughout the world we are witness to a host of new programs available in both developed and developing countries that are largely based on the U.S. experience. It is necessary that academics first recognize the scope of issues facing production and market risks in agriculture and then respond with new and creative ways to address the problems. To these needs, the Crop Insurance and Risk Management Workshop—the provenance of the papers in this volume—was designed to bring academics with research and extension responsibilities together with industry to explore this ever-changing landscape and discuss research and outreach of mutual interest.

Role of Process Models in Safety Management Management is a type of human activity that establishes and ensures the system functions. The process models and project models are currently used for management support. Main aim of the process model is to describe the possible development tendencies as a consequence of certain phenomenon and to define functions and role of functions. The process models enable to compile procedures and scenarios for the situations that have similar features. They are suitable for planning, response and renovation. In this paper, we present the risk management model used at present in professional practice, two simple models from daily practice and the evaluation of process models for crisis management.

This article discusses the role of European Union (EU) State aid law in the COVID-19 crisis. It contends that different Treaty derogations have played unique roles in addressing the core determinants of the economic risk linked to the pandemic (ie the “exposure” to lockdown measures and the “vulnerability” of certain sectors to them), and in increasing the resilience of national economies. Moreover, this article examines the extent to which EU State aid law has been used to manage and mitigate health risks, by allowing Member States to enhance the preparedness and capacity of their healthcare sector (broadly conceived) to respond to the pandemic. On the whole, this article maintains that State aid control has been used by the European Commission as an important “risk management tool”, and it highlights the role of the Commission as the crisis management authority.

Quality 4.0, the correspondent quality practice fit to address the Industry 4.0 mindset, is expected to provide models and processes endorsed by continuous improvement and data-driven proofs, especially given the exponential growth in available data. The research consolidates the reality of big data availability (part of Quality 4.0) with a generic aspect of quality—managing nonconformities. Its purpose is to suggest a model to improve the initiation step for dealing with nonconformity by prioritizing these events. The new concept in the model suggested is incorporating the risk management method of prioritizing into the nonconformity’s management. These tools are designed to transform qualitative data into quantitative ones and enable easier decision-making, in this case, choosing which issue to deal with first. The research approach is developing and testing the suggested model as a pilot in a real production environment to establish its impact and define key guidelines for utilizing it in various processes and, in addition, to conduct a survey among quality experts from different organizations for reference. Two main outcomes were achieved during the research: The quality experts’ survey welcomed the model concept as a structured tool based on the solid risk management methodology. Implementing the model on actual production lines resulted in a significant reduction of NC financial impact as the events were solved as per their impact.

Definition Of

It is determined that crisis consultations represent a set of measures aimed at stabilizing the situation of a particular subject, solving a set of problems associated with the maximum increase in the efficiency of the activity. The following types of crisis consultations are singled out: direct consultations of managers; implementation of advisory activities (consultations on emerging problems, diagnosis of the organization, definition of a crisis strategy, development of a plan of measures for crisis prevention, risk assessment and follow-up of its implementation, support of the organization during the implementation of the plan for crisis prevention, development of preventive measures in relation to avoidance of crisis phenomena); crisis reflexive games (training of managers and staff); case study review; use of benchmarking methods. The role of crisis analysis in conducting crisis consultations has been determined. It was emphasized that crisis analysis enables to prevent and plan possible crisis situations, ways of their neutralization and overcoming with minimal expenses for the organization. The role functions of crisis advisers are determined. The stages of crisis management (according to R. Heath) are revealed: prevention – prevention of crisis risks, analysis of losses for business; readiness – awareness of the probability of crises, staff training; salvation – drawing up plans, preventing consequences; recovery – recovery of effective production, assessment of the crisis. The types of crisis management are distinguished: preventive, aimed at analyzing the indicators of the crisis and identifying its causes and factors for timely prevention or minimization of possible crisis processes; an anticipatory, the essence of which is to develop goals and objectives for leadership in order to prevent crisis phenomena. A demarcation of crisis management and risk management has been conducted: if crisis management is primarily a process of responding to already existing serious threats to one or another organization or to events that have already occurred, risk management is associated with the process of identifying certain risks mainly for future activities organization, as well as the appropriate acceptance of these risks or their elimination.

With the advent of the Olympic Movement’s Agenda 2020, the purpose of this paper was to explore the role of test events (TEs) as risk management tools by: 1) evaluating how TEs support the preparation and staging the Olympic (Winter) Games; and 2) assessing the feasibility of reducing their cost and scale without increasing the risks associated with hosting the Games. Based on documents and interviews, results revealed TEs reduce risk, as they permit relevant stakeholders to get hands-on experience. Besides reducing risk, TEs enhance collective knowledge and foster teambuilding as well as readiness and operationalization. Three additional TE-specific risk issue categories emerged: (1) over-proportioning (e.g., over scoping); (2) readiness (e.g., ability to successfully deliver on time); and (3) knowledge. This study demonstrates it is possible to have a lower cost and scale TE program without increasing risk, but this depends on (1) the organizers’ sport event hosting experience; and (2) a solid, contextualized TE strategy. To reduce risk within TEs themselves, findings indicate organizers use a knowledge feedback look, financing, and partnerships. Finally, we provide TE-related recommendations to assist Olympic stakeholders in anticipating, measuring, and mitigating risks associated with preparing and hosting Olympic (Winter) Games.
