Abstract:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been in existence for over 2 decades yet businesses are still losing billions of dollars annually in the implementation of software designed to reduce costs and increase profitability. The inability to manage risks is an area that contributes to these losses, specifically due to uncertain outcomes when dealing with an interconnected construct such as risk, and a research gap at the tactical and operational levels between risks and controls. A comparative case study approach, encompassing 12 different organisations was adopted to explore emergin

Abstract:
This project is a step forward in developing an integrated risk management framework to minimize schedule overrun in upstream gas projects in Australia. It examines critical technical and non-technical risks and demonstrates their interaction and interdependencies in the project environment that influence delays, potentially enabling industry practitioners to understand individual and collective influence of risk and implement strategies to achieve optimum results. It implements a three-phase research design involving survey and case studies to triangulate data and findings and the high degree

With medical advances, cCHD survival rates have almost tripled in the last three decades. This has resulted in an increase in the number of morbidities associated with cCHD, which is drastically impacting the need to support quality of life outcomes for a child with cCHD a

Most commonly associated with this term are facilities for water supply, oil and gas distribution, power grids, telecommunications, transportation, financial services (banking and finance), and security services (military, police, etc.).

Abstract:
Male and Female, Cyclist and Driver Perceptions of Crash Risk in Critical Road Situations. Governments are promoting cycling but many Australians, particularly women, do not ride because they perceive it to be too risky. This research compared the risks perceived by female and male, cyclists and drivers in specific on-road situations, accounting for factors such as travel patterns and experience, perceived skill, and risk taking behaviours. Compared to their male counterparts, female cyclists and drivers gave similarly elevated perceptions of risk. These differences are not completely accou

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between multimedia instruction and critical thinking as measured by the five subscales of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Analysis (WGCTA). A high school student population totaling 121 ninth grade, language arts students participated in the research. Since the multimedia experience is an enhancement on traditional course presentation, it was hypothesized that the experimental group, those students participating in multimedia, would achieve higher scores on the WGCT A. There was also interest in a possible relationship between stud

Abstract:
The world of today is increasingly dependant on a functional, globalized economy. The defence and security establishments’ reliance on supplies and logistics is not new. First responders rely on many tools and systems that are critical to their endeavours. Somewhat disjoint at first glance, these domains share a common need for complex physical or logistical infrastructures such as power plants, ports, supply chains, to name a few examples.All of these are potentially vulnerable to attacks, disruptions, breakdowns, or other activities that disable the infrastructure and consequently cause imp

Abstract:
This dissertation explores the construction of humanitarian insecurity as a social problem; more particularly, it suggests the rise of a moral panic about a perceived "new and growing threat" to humanitarian actors in the post-Cold \Vax era. Whilst there is nothing that has radically changed in the nature of the threat to humanitarian actors throughout the twentieth century and earlier, the grmving perception of "shrinking humanitarian space" has encouraged the adoption of security policies that deepen the conditions for some of the problems that humanitarian actors face today.

When a system failure mode may cause a very high cost in lives or economic value, risk management becomes a necessity.

Abstract:
Introduction: My ten published papers focus on two domains of the quality agenda, patient safety and patient experience, concentrating on how quality improvement can reduce the occurrence of serious consequences of patient harm and poor patient experience. Aims: My goal was to design, test and discover how to make improvements in clinical practice in four areas: sleep deprivation, infection prevention, falls prevention and pressure ulcer prevention. Literature Review: There was limited evidence of successful strategies for change to improve quality. Common quality improvement challenges were w
