CASE STUDY 3
Development of Risk Registers at Corporate, Strategic Business Unit and Project Levels and a Risk Statement
16.1 INTRODUCTION
The following provides a description of a generic risk management process for the identification of risks within a typical hierarchical organisational structure of corporate, strategic business unit and project/functional levels, along with preliminary risk assessment necessary for the initial sanctioning of a project.
