Short description

This module is devoted to risk related to the development of new products and technologies. The success of the new technology does not lie just in the invention part or in the generation of innovative ideas, but in the successful management of the innovation process from an idea to products and services in the market. The module continues with safety management as it requires short, mid and long term decisions that may highly influence the ability of an organization to cope with its risks. The issue of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as used in the safety and risk assessment, is addressed in particular for assessing and managing emerging risks linked to New Technologies. There is an emphasis on new and alternative methods (e.g. those expert opinion or big data oriented), which can be used for better identifying the risks and the reason for their occurrence, as well as for better assessing the probabilities and factors determining the consequences.
