Title

Strategic Risk Management for successful space programmes

Description

Considering today’s global economic and industrial challenges, more and more organisations have implemented a Corporate Risk Management (also called Enterprise Risk Management - ERM) framework in order to align their strategy with their risk appetite and available resources. In the space sector, and in particular for organisations dealing with large-scale space projects, this cross-organisational process, applies when setting goals across the whole organisation. The process is designed to identify and mitigate potential threats and exploit opportunities in the achievement of the organisation’s goals and objectives, and helps support the decision making of senior management. This session, organised by the ERM Technical Committee, will offer a forum to reflect on the recent trends in strategic risk management and exchange validated practices and lessons learned from organisations that already implement such a framework.
