摘要：AbstractThe Office of Government Commerce (OGC) (2005, p.2)states that “there are several factors that could make the project fail such as the lack of a clear link between the project and the organisation's key strategic priorities, including agreed measures of success and the lack of clear senior management ownership and leadership”. The purpose of this paper is to investigate factors that contribute positively into increasing the effectiveness of project risk management in an enterprise context. This paper is an outcome of an on-going research project with Rolls-Royce plc. which explores the effectiveness of risk management within the project/programme and further to the organisation context. Observation, Interviews and a questionnaire survey were the main tools of the research methodology. Results of this indicate that there is room for improving the integration risk and programme and project management. In some cases, there is an opportunity for developing in projects/programmes a more risk-aware culture. The contributory factors are leadership and senior management support, different education and training for all the levels of the organisation, support from a dedicated risk manager, communication and use of the risk management data for making decisions. All the above are factors that contributes in increasing the effectiveness of risk management process in the organisational context by creating a more risk aware culture.
