    Storage solutions: why batterydevelopments are forcing utilitychangeBy EMMA HUGHESPublished: Friday, 24 April 2015

    Disruptive technologies, including battery storage, smartmeters and other energy gadgets, are driving change to thetraditional utility model around the world, which could in turnincrease the demand for critical energy minerals such aslithium, graphite and rare earths.

    The benefits of risk management in projects are huge. You can gain a lot of money if 

    you deal with uncertain project eents in a proactie manner. The result will be that

    you minimise the impact of project threats and sei!e the opportunities that occur. This

    allows you to delier your project on time" on budget and with the #uality results your

    project sponsor demands. $lso your team members will be much happier if they do not

    enter a %fire fighting% mode needed to repair the failures that could hae been

    preented.

    This article gies you the &' golden rules to apply risk management successfully in

    your project. They are based on personal e(periences of the author who has been

    inoled in projects for oer &) years. $lso the big pile of literature aailable on the

    subject has been condensed in this article.

    Rule 1: Make Risk Management Part of Your Project

    The first rule is essential to the success of project risk management. *f you don+t truly

    embed risk management in your project" you can not reap the full benefits of this

    approach. You can encounter a number of faulty approaches in companies. ,ome

    projects use no approach whatsoeer to risk management. They are either ignorant"

    running their first project or they are somehow confident that no risks will occur in

    their project -which of course will happen. ,ome people blindly trust the project

    manager" especially if he -usually it is a man looks like a battered army eteran who

    has been in the trenches for the last two decades. Professional companies make risk

    management part of their day to day operations and include it in project meetings andthe training of staff.

    Rule 2: Identify Risks Early in Your Project

    The first step in project risk management is to identify the risks that are present in

    your project. This re#uires an open mind set that focuses on future scenarios that may

    occur. Two main sources e(ist to identify risks" people and paper. People are your team

    members that each bring along their personal e(periences and e(pertise. /ther people

    to talk to are e(perts outside your project that hae a track record with the type of 

    project or work you are facing. They can reeal some booby traps you will encounter or

    some golden opportunities that may not hae crossed your mind. *nteriews and team

    sessions -risk brainstorming are the common methods to discoer the risks people

    know. Paper is a different story. Projects tend to generate a significant number of 

    -electronic documents that contain project risks. They may not always hae that

    name" but someone who reads carefully -between the lines will find them. The project

  • 8/18/2019 Storage Solutions Projects

    8/12

    plan" business case and resource planning are good starters. $nother categories are

    old project plans" your company *ntranet and specialised websites.

    $re you able to identify all project risks before they occur0 Probably not. 1oweer if 

    you combine a number of different identification methods" you are likely to find the

    large majority. *f you deal with them properly" you hae enough time left for the

    une(pected risks that take place.

    Rule 3: Communicate Aout Risks

    Failed projects show that project managers in such projects were fre#uently unaware

    of the big hammer that was about to hit them. The frightening finding was that

    fre#uently someone of the project organisation actually did see that hammer" but didn+t

    inform the project manager of its e(istence. *f you don+t want this to happen in your

    project" you better pay attention to risk communication.

    $ good approach is to consistently include risk communication in the tasks you carry

    out. *f you hae a team meeting" make project risks part of the default agenda -and

    not the final item on the list2. This shows risks are important to the project manager

    and gies team members a %natural moment% to discuss them and report new ones.

    $nother important line of communication is that of the project manager and project

    sponsor or principal. Focus your communication efforts on the big risks here and make

    sure you don+t surprise the boss or the customer2 $lso take care that the sponsor

    makes decisions on the top risks" because usually some of them e(ceed the mandate

    of the project manager.

    Rule !: Consider "ot# $#reats and %&&ortunities

    Project risks hae a negatie connotation3 they are the %bad guys% that can harm your

    project. 1oweer modern risk approaches also focus on positie risks" the project

    opportunities. These are the uncertain eents that beneficial to your project and

    organisation. These %good guys% make your project faster" better and more profitable.

    4nfortunately" lots of project teams struggle to cross the finish line" being oerloaded

    with work that needs to be done #uickly. This creates project dynamics where only

    negatie risks matter -if the team considers any risks at all. 5ake sure you create

    some time to deal with the opportunities in your project" een if it is only half an hour.

    6hances are that you see a couple of opportunities with a high pay7off that don+t

    re#uire a big inestment in time or resources.

    9/12

    Rule ': Clarify %(ners#i& Issues

    ,ome project managers think they are done once they hae created a list with risks.

    1oweer this is only a starting point. The ne(t step is to make clear who is responsible

    for what risk2 ,omeone has to feel the heat if a risk is not taken care of properly. Thetrick is simple3 assign a risk owner for each risk that you hae found. The risk owner is

    the person in your team that has the responsibility to optimise this risk for the project.

    The effects are really positie. $t first people usually feel uncomfortable that they are

    actually responsible for certain risks" but as time passes they will act and carry out

    tasks to decrease threats and enhance opportunities.

    /wnership also e(ists on another leel. *f a project threat occurs" someone has to pay

    the bill. This sounds logical" but it is an issue you hae to address before a risk occurs.

    8specially if different business units" departments and suppliers are inoled in your

    project" it becomes important who bears the conse#uences and has to empty his

    wallet. $n important side effect of clarifying the ownership of risk effects" is that line

    managers start to pay attention to a project" especially when a lot of money is at

    stake. The ownership issue is e#ually important with project opportunities. Fights oer

    -une(pected reenues can become a long7term pastime of management.

    Rule ): Prioritise Risks

    $ project manager once told me %* treat all risks e#ually.% This makes project life really

    simple. 1oweer" it doesn+t delier the best results possible. ,ome risks hae a higher

    impact than others. Therefore" you better spend your time on the risks that can cause

    the biggest losses and gains. 6heck if you hae any showstoppers in your project that

    could derail your project. *f so" these are your number & priority. The other risks can

    be prioritised on gut feeling or" more objectiely" on a set of criteria. The criteria most

    project teams use is to consider the effects of a risk and the likelihood that it will occur.

    9hateer prioritisation measure you use" use it consistently and focus on the big risks.

    Rule *: Analyse Risks

    4nderstanding the nature of a risk is a precondition for a good response. Therefore

    take some time to hae a closer look at indiidual risks and don+t jump to conclusions

    without knowing what a risk is about.

    :isk analysis occurs at different leels. *f you want to understand a risk at an indiidual

    leel it is most fruitful to think about the effects that it has and the causes that can

  • 8/18/2019 Storage Solutions Projects

    10/12

    make it happen. ;ooking at the effects" you can describe what effects take place

    immediately after a risk occurs and what effects happen as a result of the primary

    effects or because time elapses. $ more detailed analysis may show the order of 

    magnitude effect in a certain effect category like costs" lead time or product #uality.

    $nother angle to look at risks" is to focus on the eents that precede a risk occurrence"

    the risk causes. ;ist the different causes and the circumstances that decrease or

    increase the likelihood.

    $nother leel of risk analysis is inestigate the entire project. 8ach project manager

    needs to answer the usual #uestions about the total budget needed or the date the

    project will finish. *f you take risks into account" you can do a simulation to show your

    project sponsor how likely it is that you finish on a gien date or within a certain time

    frame. $ similar e(ercise can be done for project costs.

    The information you gather in a risk analysis will proide aluable insights in yourproject and the necessary input to find effectie responses to optimise the risks.

    Rule +: Plan and Im&lement Risk Res&onses

    *mplementing a risk response is the actiity that actually adds alue to your project.

    You preent a threat occurring or minimise negatie effects. 8(ecution is key here. The

    other rules hae helped you to map" prioritise and understand risks. This will help you

    to make a sound risk response plan that focuses on the big wins.

    *f you deal with threats you basically hae three options" risk aoidance" risk

    minimisation and risk acceptance. $oiding risks means you organise your project in

    such a way that you don+t encounter a risk anymore. This could mean changing

    supplier or adopting a different technology or" if you deal with a fatal risk" terminating

    a project. ,pending more money on a doomed project is a bad inestment.

    The biggest category of responses are the ones to minimise risks. You can try to

    preent a risk occurring by influencing the causes or decreasing the negatie effects

    that could result. *f you hae carried out rule < properly -risk analysis you will hae

    plenty of opportunities to influence it. $ final response is to accept a risk. This is a

    good choice if the effects on the project are minimal or the possibilities to influence it

    proe to be ery difficult" time consuming or relatiely e(pensie. =ust make sure that

    it is a conscious choice to accept a certain risk.

    :esponses for risk opportunities are the reerse of the ones for threats. They will focus

    on seeking risks" ma(imising them or ignoring them -if opportunities proe to be too

    small.

    Rule ,: Register Project Risks

    This rule is about bookkeeping -howeer don+t stop reading. 5aintaining a risk log

    enables you to iew progress and make sure that you won+t forget a risk or two. *t is

    also a perfect communication tool that informs your team members and stakeholders

    what is going on -rule >.

    $ good risk log contains risks descriptions" clarifies ownership issues -rule ) and

    enables you to carry our some basic analyses with regard to causes and effects -rule
