Introduction to the RiskWiki
This wiki is sponsored by Bishop Phillips Consulting (http://www.bishopphillips.com/) for the education, use and enjoyment of our clients, educators, the public and professionals involved in management consulting and risk advisory, compliance, internal audit, insurance claims management, safety, governance and risk analysis industries. 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.
With the exception of all software documentation, and those additional documents marked otherwise, all written material on this site may be used freely by readers for any purpose including reproduction, subject only to the retention of moral rights by the authors. Some articles may include images for which additional permission may be reuired prior to reproduction. Software documentation may be duplicated in hard-copy for internal use by registered users of the systems with current maintenance agreements. Other uses of software systems documentation will be considered on written request.

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:
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.
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.
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..

BPC SurveyManager
- Are you looking for BPC SurveyManager Documentation or to learn more about the software?
Bundled with the BPC RiskManager suite and also supplied in both hosted and installed forms, the BPC SurveyManager software solution is an outstandingly versatile interactive web page generation engine using a survey model as the design and data storage paradigm. While being outstanding at survey creation and management the software is powerful enough to build build conventional data-input web pages. The full technical and SM language programming documentation is available from here.
Research into Virtual Worlds in Business & Education
- Are you looking for our virtual Learning research papers?
Through our Virtual Worlds research group - "Waisman Learning Systems", we do extensive work in the development of virtual learning and business spaces in SecondLife, and undertake considerable formal research into the application of Virtual Worlds to learning. You will find technical and text book material in our Virtual World Learning Systems pages. There is an extensive overview of the literature, and history of virtual worlds, a very large bibliography, details of our in-world networked lecture theatre control systems and lecture delivery systems, and a complete documentation of an extensive academic study undertaken by our WLS team into the effectiveness at achieving learning outcomes of different approaches in delivering course material in 3D virtual worlds.
You will find an extensive reading list and bibliography of works covering virtual worlds and virtual reality concepts, history, ideas, related technologies, and application in learning as well as relevant papers on learning taxonomies and teaching concepts relevant to virtual world learning systems here.
Internal Audit and Management Science
- Are you heading up an Internal Audit Team or learning internal audit methods?
If yes, you will find complete enterprise level internal audit methods and manuals on this site cross linked to our other management papers. The internal audit manuals cover everything from managing the audit team through planning the audit program to the detail of designing the audit, conducting interviews and undertaking the controls analysis; to reporting the results. Everything you are likely to need to manage and train an internal audit team is here.
- Are you a manager, management consultant or student of Management Science?
You will find articles covering topics of general management and process management methods in the RiskWiki including the detailed theory and practice of plannning, process re-engineering, control theory and our proven theories in stakeholder network organisation modelling. The work here is generally unique to this site. All methods have been used extensively and effectively in practice. Start here with process engineering.
- Are you managing a merger or an acquisition?
Take a look here first and learn about the risks in mergers and acquisitions and successful strategies for managing them from our team who have been through it successfully from both sides or the equation multiple times.
