GovernmentRisk360 Workshop for Water Executives and Senior Managers
Thursday 17 March 2022
9.30am - 11.30am
GovernmentRisk360® is a methodology developed by FPL Advisory to systematically capture risks that arise from government activity to inform an organisation’s strategic decision-making.
VicWater have negotiated a discounted rate exclusive to our members interested in the GovernmentRisk360® Workshop.
Each 2-hour workshop is designed for executive level management to work through a tailored process to resolve crisis incidents and other major government challenges commonly faced by the Victorian water sector.
Learning Outcomes
- Developing an understanding of how government decision making is creating uncertainty to your organisation through the lens of political, regulatory, compliance, operational, reputational and opportunity risk.
- Understanding how to identify risks with respect to government decision making in the external environment of your organisation
- Identify opportunities within your role to support your organisation in undertaking government engagement activities by recognising risks and opportunities in the external environment to managing relationships across government
Our first workshop will run as a mixed group with a maximum of 12 participants but we can also arrange workshops for individual water corporations on request. The program will run via an interactive ZOOM session and delegates will each receive pre-set reading materials one week prior to the workshop.

The Program
How governments in Australia have responded to the COVID-19 emergency demonstrates the levers available to intervene in every business or organisation and is an extreme demonstration of government risk – the GovernmentRisk360® methodology provides a six step framework to assess what levers may apply to your organisation both in extreme events and ‘normal’ operations.
Political Risk
External changes in the political landscape, focused on matters such as electoral cycles, government stability and other localised political events.
Regulatory Risk
Where a change in government regulation creates new conditions on operations (such as packaging or promotion restrictions).
Operational Risk
Where a shift in government focus or policy disrupt business inputs (such as energy policy settings) required for normal business operations.
Reputation Risk
Where an organisation’s actions impact on their licence to operate and hamper their ability to engage with government stakeholders.
Compliance Risk
Created through an organisation’s or industry’s failure to address or enforce critical compliance criteria which could trigger an escalated government policy or regulatory response.
Opportunity Risk
Where an organisation has limited visibility or influence of government stakeholders, relationships, institutions or policy settings and so are unable to realise opportunities.
The GovernmentRisk360® methodology systematically captures risks that arise from government activity in an Australian domestic context and while GovernmentRisk360® has universal applications, it has been designed with an Australian domestic focus for firms and organisations operating in Australia.
The methodology is applied to client projects including bespoke Project or Organisational Risk Reviews, commissioned sector analysis and as reporting inputs to broader risk management and government engagement planning.
It is a proactive tool to understand, assess and mitigate the impacts of anticipated government related risks on an organisation’s mission.
