PEOPLE ANDRISKPAPERASSIGNMENTINSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
This assignment is designed to allow the student to grapple with the relationship between people,
risk, and security. The paper is focused on an industry to give a larger scope to the analysis and
allow for a broader look at human resource management as it relates to that industry. Each
industry deals with different types of risk, so choosing an industry to consider broadens the
aperture from items within a particular organization to now a grouping of organizations in a
particular field. This risk management plan allows the student to consider governance, helping
raise the discussion to a more strategic level. It also should help the student understand the
limitations to their own planning ability at this scale, allowing for specific gaps to be identified,
especially as they relate to people within the chosen industry. No planning is perfect, and being
able to identify gaps is essential to understanding risk management.
