Department Overview

The Operational Risk Validation team is focused on assessing and validating risk mitigations and controls to determine the effectiveness of PG&E’s programs to address the highest risks for the enterprise. The goal is to confirm the right work is being prioritized and performed in a way that truly reduces risk, and to strengthen how we collectively quantify actual risk reduction based on units of work completed. This team will partner closely with the existing risk, compliance, and operational groups, digging a few levels deeper beyond compliance. This will include observations in the field and dialogue with front-line employees to better understand operational risks, inform future risk reduction programs, and advocate for needed resources or support. Assessments and validations of risk-reducing work will be done for the top-tier enterprise risks, while responding to industry disruptors and emerging risk factors that may not fit neatly into existing risk frameworks. These assessments and resulting recommendations will evaluate whether operations are meeting legal, regulatory, and other commitments – and beyond this, determine whether we’re truly reducing risk to an appropriate level.
