    Summary In the oil and gas industry it has become a higher focus on risk and risk management the last years. It is higher expectation from stakeholders that organizations take full account for risks. It is important for Aibel as a leading service company and serious player in the industry to keep track and control of risk at all levels in the organization. Aibel has therefore established a risk management strategy for the company. In this thesis the objective is to discuss how to achieve good risk management. A review of the risk management in Aibel is performed along with a survey to map the employee’s knowledge and experience on the subject. Gaps between the present risk management and principles from ISO 31000 are identified. The risk management strategy is also compared to the PSA requirements to see if they comply. An evaluation and classification of the risk maturity level for the organization is done. This is based on a risk maturity model. The risk maturity level measures the current level of risk culture in an organization. In this case there are 4 defined levels, naïve, novice, normalized and natural. With natural as the highest achieved level. The overall impression made in this thesis is that many of the principles for achieving good risk management are implemented. Despite of this there have been revealed weaknesses and huge potentials for improvement. The findings are discussed and there are also suggested areas of improvements for the organization on how to achieve an even more effective risk management. There have been identified several benefits for improving the present risk management along with suggestions for further work.

  • Risk Management Software Utilization in the Singapore Construction
    KICEM Journal of Construction Engineering and Project Management (2011) www.jcepm.org Online ISSN 2233-9582 http://dx.doi.org/10.6106/JCEPM.2011.1.2.028 Risk Management Software Utilization in the Singapore Construction Industry: Evaluation and Improvement Bon-Gang Hwang1 and Pee Mee Chua2 Abstract: Risk management is popularly and widely used in various industries to handle uncertainty that can negatively affect their businesses. While in the current Information-Technology oriented age, software packages are designed to assist in carrying out risk management processes, the construction industry does not seem to have software that is tuned to its specific characteristics and processes. Therefore, this study first explores the types of software that are commonly used for risk management in the Singapore construction industry. Also, using one-sample t-test, it is tested if the software programs used in the construction industry have effectively catered the needs of the users. For the analysis, a survey questionnaire was developed and the representatives from 34 companies participated in the survey. Furthermore, this study also makes use of the current risk management framework defined in ISO31000 to design a risk management software algorithm that can suit the needs for the Singapore construction industry. The results from this study will contribute to identifying strategic areas, in terms of use of risk management software, on which the industry needs to focus, ultimately enhancing their performance of risk management. Keywords: Risk Management, Software, Construction Project, Project Management, Singapore I. INTRODUCTION improved. According to Roland (2008), with the aid of In today’s competitive and unpredictable technology, “companies can more easily incorporate risk circumstances, risk management is highly emphasized and management into critical business processes and improve utilized in businesses and projects in various industries.
