Introduction
The core goals of PRIMO are focussed on the holistic heart of riskmanagement within the public sector and on public risk at his own. It is in the heart of the triangle “public policy, public management and society and its natural environment”. It is within this “triangle” that the powers and developments of all three domains should be matched for good governance and thereby for new public management. Risk management is a crucial aspect of it.
Focus and scope
The PRIMO Public Risk Survey 2009 is focussed on monitoring the state of risks, riskperception and riskmanagement within the local and regional communities within Europe.
The survey combines the principles of quality-management, public management and governance. It focusses on the managers and advisors in the public domain especially in our local communities. It tries to bring forward actually what we do in our answer on the financial and economic crisis we face. Here we must share our stories.
The results of this websurvey can be used by politicians, policymakers, managers, controllers and riskmanagers and of course by suppliers of products and services.
It is PRIMO’ s objective to build a common awareness that it are the interfaces between those three domains through which risks emerge. Good governance demands an approach in which politics/government, local and regional authorities, society itself (with citizens, companies and other relevant stakeholders), its natural evironment and its management share the risks. This websurvey has that ambition. It are those interfaces which are highlighted in this survey.
PRIMO will focus on the Risk Management aspects as an important new form of public management, essential part of the profile of the European manager of public organisation within the political, governmental and social trends and developments.
The survey is organised by our own staff and carried out supported by the knowledge of the scientific council and supported by our partners. The data are secured by PRIMO.
Our aim in launching this survey is to gauge the awareness and approach to risks, and to identify the main topics and areas of concern in our sector. Our findings will allow us to help prepare our members to manage risks both now and in the near future. It can help us to define our agenda .
