2 Overview of Risk Management Process
The application of a formal Risk and Opportunity Management Process provides a
structured, logical way of identifying, assessing and treating the risks and opportunities to the
successful completion of a project This process provides secondary benefits that allow the
analysis of potential Project outcomes thus enhancing early warning, project certainty and
the management of contingency throughout the Project Lifecycle.

The process outlined herein conforms to Leighton Contractors Risk and Opportunity Process
held in the Leighton Management System (Our Way) and Australian Standard AS/NZS ISO
31000:2009, and other best practice guidance.
For more information on the Detailed Level Business Processes for Manage Project Risk in
Our Way see http://ourway.lc.local/business-excellence/enterprise-risk-
management/index.htm

2.1 Establish the Context


The Project Manager is ultimately accountable for the execution of the Risk & Opportunity
Management Process, however, a Risk Champion is appointed by the Project Manager to
assist with the co-ordination and facilitation of this.

A Risk and Opportunity Strategy Workshop is held to formulate how the management of risk
and opportunity will be executed throughout the project/operation. The workshop will aim to
determine:
The roles and responsibilities of the Project Team in executing risk and opportunity
management
The Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) to be built within Active Risk Manager (ARM)
Define the project's scoring scheme by reviewing the tender scoring scheme and
update where appropriate

2.2 Identify Phase
Throughout the project/operation, the Project Team and Risk & Opportunity Owners are
accountable for the continuous identification of risks and opportunities applicable to the
successful delivery of their scope of works.

These risks and opportunities are reviewed by the Project Management Team on a regular
basis for validity and approved in ARM with a status of 'active'.

The project team must identify risks and opportunities against all types of risks - not solely
commercial and/or SHE risks.
At LCPL, we have categorised these types as Enterprise Capital elements (which are also
reflected in ARM as risk categories) i.e.:

Enterprise Capital Element Description

Our People can affect their safety, well-being and performance. We look
to grow their abilities and provide opportunities to develop

Our assets relate to the physical assets such as plant and

as required.

Similarly we must be able to account for our activities in an
accurate and timely manner to ensure we are able to make
effective decisions.

2.3 Analyse and Evaluate Phase


Risk & Opportunity Owners must ensure risk items are assessed for Probability of
Occurrence, and the possible impacts (e.g. Cost, Time, Safety, Reputation, and
Environment). Refer to the project/operation's Risk and Opportunity Scoring Scheme revised
during the Risk and Opportunity Strategy Workshop at Project Start-up.

Assessments for probability of occurrence, cost impact and time impact must be completed
quantitatively. For Safety, Reputation, and Environment impact assessments a qualitative
approach is required.

2.4 Treat Phase


Treatment Plan Owners are accountable for developing high level, proactive, treatment plans
in ARM for those risks and opportunities they have been assigned.

The treatment plan details a series of actions that are assigned to resources with due by
dates. All actions are aimed at treating the risk or opportunity to which they apply, i.e. altering
the probability of occurrence and/or the impacts.

2.5 Review, Re-evaluate and Communicate Phase


The Risk & Opportunity Owner is accountable for ensuring their risks and opportunities are
continuously reviewed to ensure assessments remain aligned to all current project/operation
assumptions and treatment plan statuses. This is especially important due to the analysis and
reporting of the Projects risk exposure and provisioning as part of the LCPL month end
reporting process.
