Gain better insight and decisions through risk management.

BSI enable steering groups, project managers, and executive committees to use their potential to make better decisions through risk management. Through our experience-based approach your organization gain access to a knowledge-database of previous risks, which we have collected, systematized, and analyzed in a broad variation of change initiatives.

We work from international recognized risk management standards, supplemented by our own risk management tools, with a focus on your organization gaining greater value through risk management.

Our risk bank contains standardized risk collected from more than 100 projects, programs, and portfolios.

Black Swan Institute has developed and uses the risk tool Mitigator to support risk management of projects, programs, portfolios, business, and operations.

Mitigator risk tool allows you to:

• Create and maintain a risk register
• Support standard risk management processes (identification, assessment, planning, and implementation)
• Make risk analyzes based on data in the risk register
• Establish management reports for risk management in steering groups, executive boards, and board of directors
• Transfer affected risks to the embedded issue register, and support issue management
• Get inspiration for typical risks, from a built-in risk bank (with the option of building a risk bank with enterprise-adapted default risks)
• Present risks and issues in the form of risk cards and issues cards
• Conduct annual audit of risk management

The risk tool is based on the Risk Management Standard Management of Risks (M_o_R) and compliant with the requirements of ISO-31000: 2018.

Businesses can buy a license to use the tool on project, program, and/or portfolio level. A license provides rights of use for the risk tool, assistance for basic configuration of the tool for specific business needs, access to seminars, and networking with other users. The risk tool is run in Microsoft Excel (PC version).

Risk Management seminars

Black Swan Institute organizes three annual seminars for you, who work with risk management on an IT / digitalization project. As part of the seminar you will receive a 1-year license for the Mitigator risk tool.

You are in a steering group or work as a project manager/risk manager. You must ensure that risk management is established and used. You want to establish or further develop your approach to risk management to create more value through a structured and systematic approach.

The seminar gives you an introduction to risk management focusing on the relationship between the project and the steering group. You gain insight into risk management according to international standards, and examples of best practices. You will learn to establish, optimize, and execute risk management, when the seminar is completed.

At the seminar you will receive introduction to risk management standards (ISO31000: 2018 / M_o_R / CPMI-IOSCO), training in techniques for establishing and analyzing a risk register, training in the use of the risk tool Mitigator, reviewing typical risk areas in IT / digitization projects, and methods of working with risk economy.
