BowTie XP - Visual Risk Assessment

WHAT IS BOWTIE?

A BowTie is diagram that visualises the risk you are dealing with in just one, easy to understand picture. The diagram is shaped like a bow-tie, creating a clear differentiation between proactive and reactive risk management.

The power of a BowTieXP diagram is that it shows you "A Summary of Several Plausible Risk Scenarios, in a single picture". In short, it provides a simple, visual explanation of a risk that would be much more difficult to explain otherwise.

BowTieXP models provide a simple, graphical representation of the relationship between the causes and consequences of business upsets, the control measures in place and the tasks, procedures, responsible individuals and competencies which support and enforce the controls.

RISK ASSESSMENT

• BowTieXP makes the risk assessment process highly interactive. Through the BowTieXp Workshop Process, more relevant risk information is captured and store in the BowTie diagram.

• No matter at what level of detail you will be analysing the risk, BowTieXP keeps track of the big picture for you

RISK MANAGEMENT

• BowTieXP has a laser focus on helping you to identify what needs to be done to deal effectively with the risk.

• Provides the ideal visualisation for thinking through what happens when multiple risk scenarios occur simultaneously. This makes BowTieXP particularly useful for major accident prevention.

 RISK COMMUNICATION

• BowTieXP diagrams have been designed from the ground up to be easily communicable and provide you with many options to tailor the diagram for your audience.

• The diagrams have been designed to effectively communicate the risk context of the work environment, targeting the single-greatest cause of mistake-based incidents.
