It provides reference articles on management, risk and risk related functions including: Risk Management, Internal Audit, Governance, Compliance, and Process Reengineering, etc. The RiskWiki is based on the articles, methods, manuals and papers of primarily three firms: Bishop Phillips Consulting P/L, Stanton Consulting Partners and Bishop Finance P/L. These firms are contributing a large body of work amassed over many years experience with hundreds of clients. The project to convert and upload much of our BPC software help & manuals, extended body of consulting, risk and internal audit methods and models, and education and research materials is a large and time consuming project so the RiskWiki content changes frequently and will do so for the foreseeable future.

Frequently asked Questions About BPC RiskManger Can you please provide information on the cost of licensing and the type of licensing for BPC RiskManager V6.x ? Licensing Philosophy There is an element of 'fair use' in the licensing models, and a little variation across countries to satisfy the particular market expectations of each country. Fee structures are based on your location. Essentially we have to take into account the purpose of the installation - as this relates to maintenance and support. You local office will discuss and agree the terms of the license arrangement for these more unusual configurations. We do not generally count training or testing installs in the license.

Licensing models Subject to local variations, the basic models are: Single User. License by user - but we usually allow a few people to ..→Read More.. Featured Article... Agile Frameworks - Enterprise Agile with Agentic AI Introduction Enterprise Agile is an attempt to capture the perceived benefits experience in IT systems development of the Agile delivery framework and apply them to the Enterprise context across all areas, not just the IT space. These perceived benefits include alignment with business goals, value focus, lean operations, continuous improvement and market responsiveness. Enterprise Agile + Agentic AI is not just “Agile at scale.” It’s a fundamental shift in how work is orchestrated, how decisions are made, and how value flows across the enterprise. This article considers Enterprise Agile and investigates how Agile evolve when the enterprise is augmented by autonomous agents, LLM‑powered workflows, and agentic AI ecosystems 1. What is Enterprise Agile? Enterprise Agile is not "Scrum but bigger." It is a multi‑team, multi‑value‑stream operating model that attempts to align: strategy funding architecture governance delivery operations into a continuous flow of value and improvement across the entire organisation. Frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, and Disciplined Agile are simply different ways of achieving this, but none of them were designed with Agentic AI in mind — which is why this article is timely. 2. Why Agentic AI changes the game Agentic AI introduces capabilities that traditional Agile never anticipated: Secretarial support The first agent most people implement is essentially a secretarial agent that scans emails and summarises for critical issues, arranges appointments, establishes reminders and assists with communication drafting. The significant productivity improvement offered by this capability alone at the individual level should not be underestimated as it means that every worker with a device has the opportunity to have an intelligent assistant addressing routine tasks that take potentially 12% to 20% of their time. Research & Training Competing with the Secretarial function of AI is the librarian function of research and self-directed training & skilling that even an AI chat-bot delivers. Where a person's role involves skilling in processes, knowledge spaces or investigating, summarising or extracting data from either internal documentation or external data (including the web itself) an agent can represent a significant productivity and knowledge gain. Autonomous work execution Agents can perform tasks, not just assist humans. Further through skill sharing AI's can educate each other, and humans can draft and test skills on one agent and then roll out those skills almost instantly across the entire organisation. Further agents can be equipped with skills to construct, test and use tools required but absent from their tool libraries to accomplish tasks defined by their human. Continuous sensing Agents can monitor systems, markets, risks, and customer behaviour 24/7 and provide alerts based on complex threshold models or even enact responses. Real‑time decision support Agents can propose backlog changes, risk mitigations, architectural options based on monitored sensors or user / customer feedback or environment changes. The lost in a report-awaiting-review syndrome evaporates where the agent can directly inject suggestions into the change ..→ Read More..
