Riskope's Ceo Franco Oboni set to speak at 2014 ISMB, Nagoya, Japan, April 3rd

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - March 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Conference will be held by Dr. Franco Oboni, an internationally acclaimed expert in infrastructure risk analysis who works with leading Fortune 500 companies, national and local governments, and utilities to help them develop asset management plans that consider the consequences of potential hazards, in order to set clear risk-based priorities for capital investment. Franco is a civil engineer, with more than 30 years of experience assessing and quantifying risk.

Franco has stated that: “I’m always happy to take part in this kind of event. At Riskope we are right on the leading edge of the modern use of quantitative risk assessment and management. It’s a great way for me to make decision makers aware of ORE, the up to date, mature risk management model which we, as a company, promote”.

The paper will address:

-          How societies around the world have tolerated (or not) major accidents like Fukushima, Mont Blanc Tunnel and many dams failures. Overcoming societal tolerability generally results in outcry, boycotts and legal actions.

-          How to clearly differentiate manageable vs. unmanageable risks from a corporate governance point of view. Unmanageable risks are those that require a strategic shift. Manageable risks can be dealt with tactical measures like, for example, recent 2013-2014 GM, Nissan, Toyota car recalls.

-          How to enhance governance and leadership, transforming threats in competitive opportunities by having a clearer understanding of the risk landscape of a corporation.
