CIM MES Vancouver is pleased to present:
Franco Oboni
President, Riskope
who will deliver a presentation on
A Tale of Mining, Society, Risks and Money – Are We Done with Silo Thinking?
The presentation shows through examples how to understand the holistic risk landscape of a company, quantify risks and calibrate durable, economically and societally responsible mitigations.
Examples drawn from Riskope’s practice from Pacific NW (concentrate and potash transportation) to Asia (coal), Europe (Army cyber-defense) and Latin America (copper), will illustrate modern risk based decision making capabilities, including, of course their financial, and human implications.
The integrated approaches described in the case studies illustrate how best practices allow corporation of diverse nature, for example, mining, transportation, wharves, etc. “to boldly go where no corporation has gone before” benefiting from a strong competitive leading edge.
