Unleash the full potential of your assets and organization

It's essential that capital projects and asset portfolios achieve their objectives, deliver on expectations, and help you realize your long-term vision. Whether you’re looking to capitalize on the full transformative power of digitization, recapture eroding margins, take advantage of shifting market conditions, manage risks more holistically, conduct a successful transaction, or ensure your operations reach nameplate capacity faster, your ultimate goal is to create and secure value for your organization.

In the midst of rapid market changes and technological development, you expect quality, comprehensive and practical insights, and solutions to address the technical, social, environmental, and financial challenges that you and your stakeholders are facing.

Building Resilience

Welcome to Building Resilience, the podcast which highlights why building resilience within an organization is critical in an ever-changing world.

Episode 1: Operational Integrity

In this opening episode, we interview Johan Du Toit, Senior Advisory Principal at Hatch. We discuss the importance, challenges, and best practices for operational integrity. Johan leads us through an important discussion on what is operational integrity and the critical role of risk management in maintaining operational integrity. He opines on what biases are most prevalent and sheds light on the role of leadership.

Episode 2: Catastrophic Risk

In this episode, we continue on our operational integrity discussion and we dive into specifics of catastrophic risk management in terms of program development and implementation. We go over the challenges commonly faced while identifying material unwanted events, determining the proper preventive and mitigative controls and biases that occur during the process. Matthew provides his experience from being involved in one of the largest implementations of this methodology.

Heavy-tailed risk events and how to deal with them

Pouya Zangeneh

Studying the tails of distributions is essential for risk management. Whether in probabilistic risk assessment or even in qualitative hazard studies, risk management aims to understand tail events. Risk measures such as value at risk or expected shortfall are essentially measures of the distributions’ tails. So, if you’re concerned about your project cost overrun risks, for example, you’re worried about the tail of the cost distribution.
