David Blakey's career
Selection: risks
Synergy International Limited
Electricity: Y2K Business Continuity Planning
I developed a business continuity plan (BCP) for Y2K. This assignment was critical to a power station continuing to operate through the transition to 2000. The BCP concentrated on risks that could be avoided or mitigated before the end of 1999, with as few risks as possible being managed by contingency planning within 2000.Distribution: Risk Assessment
I developed a list of potential risks to the client's IT functions, with descriptions of the nature of each risk. This work was done as a preliminary to the construction of a full business continuity plan for the client's IT department. Risks were identified and then classified under a series of headings, depending upon their likely impact and the degree of control that the client could exert directly over them.Manufacturing: Project Risk Management
I identified and monitored risks during a systems implementation project. Within a week of being appointed to manage project risks, I completed an initial risk analysis and presented a summary of major, immediate risks facing the project. Actions on some of these implemented immediately; others required further analysis.I continued to monitor the risks facing the project, especially during a period when the project manager was replaced, and presented weekly reviews of major risks that required action because of their high probability of occurrence and high potential impacts and of the ongoing situation with other risks and their management.
