What do we mean with integrated risk management? – A research profiling comparing DRM and other fields of risk management
The concept of integrated risk management (IRM) has developed as a response to more interconnected and complex contexts. To investigate how the concept is used and what is meant with integration in the scientific literature, a research profiling was carried out across all kinds of risk management applications. 1,094 publications from scientific journals, conference proceedings, and books were included. The study period of 21 years showed a steady…
Business Continuity Management in Public Sector Organizations
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is an approach aimed at ensuring the continued delivery of essential functions during crises. While BCM originates from the private sector, it has increasingly also been adopted by public sector organizations. Yet, no comprehensive overview of peer‐reviewed literature on public sector BCM and its largely equivalent counterpart, Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), has been conducted to explore the status …
Building organizational adaptive capacity in the face of crisis
While organizations providing critical services to society must have the ability to anticipate and prepare for foreseeable threats, they also need to develop a capacity to adapt in the face of unforeseen challenges and crises. While adaptive capacity becomes manifested in a specific situation through the concrete adaptations carried out by an organization, the preconditions to adapt exist already before a crisis occurs. However, previous research…
Tracking the implementation of a risk management process in a public sector organisation – A longitudinal study
This paper presents the results from a longitudinal study of the process of developing and implementing a method for risk assessment in a public sector organisation over a period of 3.5 years. The study explores how people involved in this process viewed factors influencing the implementation and what effects the risk management process gave rise to. While a large share of previous research on this topic has been confined to analysing the final p…
Integrating risk assessment and business impact assessment in the public crisis management sector
Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) are often conducted by public sector organizations to prevent or prepare for hazards and threats. In Sweden, practitioners increasingly adopt approaches that are based on Business Continuity Management (BCM), where Business Impact Assessments (BIA) are used to gain organizational understanding, in favor of more traditional risk assessments. Both processes can be valuable to an organization and they have s…
Understanding practical challenges to risk and vulnerability assessments
Assessing risks and vulnerabilities in the multifaceted context of a municipality is challenging. There is a plethora of methods and tools to support this task. However, to achieve successful outcomes from Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs), merely applying theoretically and technically rigorous methods is far from enough; the question of how a method is implemented in a practical context is crucial for reaching intended outcomes. In this …
Designing resilient infrastructure systems
In order to minimise the impact on society in the case of severe disturbances affecting infrastructure systems, it is essential that these systems are resilient to failures, i.e. that they are able to continue operations or quickly recover a stable state after a major mishap. Numerous opportunities for taking measures to increase resilience of infrastructures exist already in the design phase of new elements in these systems. This paper therefore…
