STEVE E. HRUDEY, P.ENG., FEC, FGC (HON.) FCAE, FSRA APEGA President “Predictions are difficult — especially about the future.” -variously attributed to Nobel physicist Neils Bohr, baseball legend Yogi Berra, and others Risk is a four-letter word — that much we can agree on. Risk also has multiple meanings among different individuals and even for the same indi- vidual facing different circumstances. Normally, risk is relevant in the context of predicting future challenges. Yet too often debates and actions about risk (e.g., risk assessment, risk manage- ment, risk communication) proceed as if the word has a single, universal meaning. Resulting confu- sion from talking at cross-purposes can itself be very risky. IF APEGA IS TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MANAGE RISK, WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND WHAT APEGA MEANS BY RISK. Despite some very tangible risks associated with using the word itself, APEGA can and must manage the risks it is facing. This is essential to delivering on the primary reason that APEGA exists — to provide effective self-regulation of our professions to protect the public. We’re managing some of those risks right now. If you’ve read any of my past PEG columns, however, I think you know that I believe we can — and must — do better. 4 | PEG SPRING 2017 President's Notebook APEGA If APEGA is to more effectively manage risk, we must first understand what APEGA means by risk. Given the diversity of perspectives on the word and subject, one way to refine APEGA’s understanding of risk is to accept some of the word’s fundamental truths. I’ll initiate that discussion with the following points, drawn from my professional experience. 1. Risk is inherently multidimensional. This reality is a characteristic that leads directly to the value of risk as a concept worth managing, making it more useful than just focusing on probability, consequences, or uncertainty. For example, we acknowledge that there are low probability- high consequence risks, just as there are high probability-low consequence risks. These extremes ScienceCartoonsPlus.com alone show that risk is multi-dimensional. 2. Risk must be considered for a specified timeframe. predictions involve judgments. Claims to know the If risk is considered for a specified consequence — “real risk” cannot withstand scrutiny. The focus on say, the Earth being affected by a climate-changing risk debates needs to be about how much evidence asteroid strike — quantitative probability estimates there is, and how rational and robust the estimation will be very different for a timeframe of one year methods are from one risk assessor to the next.

    Volume 31 The Rotary Club of Calgary is an organization of Number 34 professional and community leaders who come together through commitment and March 7, 2014 fellowship to create opportunities and a better future for generations to follow. District No. 5360 Dr. Remo Panaccione – IBD in Alberta Sean Baylis had the pleasure of introducing our speaker: Dr. Remo Panaccione, Team Lead (Treatment and Cure) with the Alberta IBD Consortium, and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Calgary. Dr. Panaccione has also been recognized by Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers specifically to either Crohn's disease or to ulcerative colitis. It is different from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which is a collection of symptoms experienced by many people in industrial societies. Although IBD is on the rise globally, the per capita disease rates are highest in Alberta. Several studies have attempted to determine why this is so, but IBD occurrence patterns, and the root causes of this disease, are still unknown. Genetics may play a role as the IBD disease rates are generally higher where there are populations of Scandinavian descent, but environmental factors are also suspected. Did you know that the Alberta IBD Consortium is ranked among the top five research centres in the world? In just three years the group has tested three new agents that have been approved to treat IBD. The consortium’s goal is to continue to develop therapies that will improve patient quality of life. Dr. Panaccione’s interests lie in conducting clinical trials for new treatments.
