Resilient Risk Analysis
Make risk analysis stand up to scrutiny through structured argumentation techniques
Course Description
In collaboration with the University of Melbourne Centre for Economic and Environmental Research (CEER)
Overview
The need for risk analysis is common, but the multitude of methodologies and techniques are brittle. The analyses often break under scrutiny by auditors and regulators, not to mention the harsh light of hindsight after a bad event has occurred.
In the workshop, we take a fresh look at Risk Analysis through the lens of structured argumentation. We re-examine Risk Statements, risk categorization, the structure of arguments that lead to confidence in risk statements, the use of high-level estimates and more.
These techniques, and the overall structure of argumentation, strengthen the analysis, enabling it to withstand reviews and increase confidence for stakeholders.
