Print E-mail

Herrmann International Asia is pleased to offer the HBDI®-ISO 31000 Rx, an unique tool that is able to assist your organisation to engage in a process of discovery and develop an appropriate risk management framework, principles, processes, practices and culture.

Herrmann International Asia has partnered with 80-20 Options NZ Ltd to bring this new, innovative and dynamic risk thinking process tool to our clients.  The HBDI-ISO 32000 Rx complements other Herrmann products and services and has been developed specifically to engage organisations’ thinking about risk management. 

In organisations that are familiar with the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument, both individually and within teams, this tool facilitates the incorporation of risk thinking and risk awareness into everyday work routines at both the planning and reviewing level.

International risk management best practice

One of the best features of the (HBDI®-ISO 31000 Rx) tool is the comprehensive reporting capability. The tool provides a risk index (Rx) score and visual profiles, not only in terms of the Australia / New Zealand ISO 31000 Risk Management Standard (2009), but each risk statement has also been categorised according to the Thinking preference style / capability that is required to address that aspect of risk. 

Thinking Preferences and Risk Gaps

From the above profiling and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) profile of your team’s thinking preferences you can assess whether or not you have a sufficient 'Thinking Preference' bias in your team to readily address critical risk issues.  A comparison of thinking preferences, associated with the risk 'gaps' is very helpful in directing management attention to long standing risk-related issues.  For the first time you have a Whole Brain® (holistic) view not only of your risk improvement areas, but of the thinking that is required.

Benefits of using the HBDI®-ISO 31000 Rx

This tool will add the following benefits to your organisation:

  • An increased awareness of your management and employee perceptions and attitudes towards risk management; thinking about risk is an essential part of organisations’ risk capabilities
  • Facilitated understanding of both your organisation’s / team’s risk profile and your thinking preferences; this supports a structured approach to risk management change programmes and applies OD principles
  • Reduced costs through increased awareness of risk issues and opportunities
  • Benchmarking of the current organisational risk culture and gaps in the desired organisational risk culture, policy and practices
  • Supports continuous improvement through identification of key strengths and opportunities for further development as well as weaknesses and improvement areas

The HBDI®-ISO 31000 Rx is the start of an organisational risk management improvement program that engages the organisation’s thinking about risk.  It continues to pay off in terms of a range of benefits for employees, managers and the organisation. 


Implementing the HBDI-ISO 31000 Rx Program

The first HBDI-ISO 31000 Rx program that any organisation implements is run by a Herrmann International Asia risk expert. The organisation can then choose to:

  • Continue using Herrmann International Asia to run subsequent programs
  • Get their own in-house person trained to run subsequent programs.

This training process involves:

  1. Selecting someone from the organisation who is already a fully Herrmann Certified Practitioner
  2. Having them participate in the first HBDI-ISO 31000 Rx program
  3. Having them co-train the second HBDI-ISO 31000 Rx program with the Herrmann International Asia risk expert.

Once this process is complete, the organisation is able to manage and run the entire program itself.

For further information about how to implement the HBDI-ISO 31000 Rx program, please contact us to discuss your needs.
