    Episode 4
    In this episode, we discuss the application Risk Analytics and Probabilistic Modeling in dealing with heavy-tailed risk events, and in quantifying risk events occurrences. Dr. Pouya Zangeneh, a Risk Analytics Specialist at Hatch, discusses his blog post on the normal distribution of risk events and how some statistical methods are suboptimal when attempting to capture heavy-tailed risk events. He also provides an interesting example of how the Bayesian approach can help continuously update the risks and probabilities over time.

    In previous episodes, we discussed building resilient organizations with operational integrity. This episode follows on the catastrophic risk management framework with specific applications in the mining sector. Todd, a Senior Mining Consultant at Hatch, discussed the importance of mitigation control measures, such as having a functional secondary egress in a mine, to lessen the likelihood of material unwanted events. He also recognized the importance of involving subject matter experts and operations personnel to help identify, prevent and/or minimize potential MUEs and their impact.

Matthew Cramer, Hatch’s Global Director, Advisory, discusses the challenges commonly faced when defining and identifying material unwanted events, and determining the proper preventive and mitigative controls and biases that occur during the process. Matthew also shares an example of catastrophic risk culled from his own experience, the approach that was taken, and the outcome it produced.
