Abstract:
Public health protection must be the primary goal of a drinking water utility;
delivered through supplying safe drinking water. For complex multi-utilities,
this goal may come under pressure from the need to manage a plethora of business
risks. We describe a risk management maturity model for assessing the capacity
of utilities to manage business risks and comment on the importance of
‘mindfulness' as a prerequisite for effective risk managemen
