Review
Take 15 min to answer the following questions:
What did you learn yesterday? What was new?
What new insights do you have from yesterday’s

material? What are the implications of that
learning?
What will you do with this information when you go

home? What will you change at your institute?

What is performance?
In what way does performance improve biorisk

management?
Or…what specific steps are still missing from the

system after assessment and mitigation?

Performance
Performance is the way in which someone or

something functions
Performance is the result of all the efforts of a

company or organization
Performance improves biorisk management: you know

that your system works and is sustainable, and that
the risk is acceptable

Group Exercise 1, Step 1
Split into groups
Each group receives the scenario. You have 15 min to:
Identify the performance issues/problems in the

scenario
Write each issue on a separate post-it using a

felt-tip marker
Place post-its on your flip chart
Present to the class

Biorisk Management System
Control: Processes, procedures, structures, and

responsibilities to manage biorisk
Assurance: Systematic process of checking the

system through audits and inspections
Improvement: Setting and achieving biorisk

management goals based on internal and external
feedback

Group Exercise 2
In your same groups, refer to yesterday’s assessment /

mitigation scenarios (20 min)
For each mitigation measure you implemented,

what performance measures also need to be
incorporated?
How do performance factors affect or change your

mitigated risk?
How might the results on your graph

change?
Report your results to the class

Individually, carefully read the Cataract University

exercise
Split into groups and take 40 min to:

Identify problems in Assessment, Mitigation,
and Performance
Use post-it notes, one for each problem
Place post-it notes on “university board”
in appropriate section
How have these problems affected the
university?
Report results to the class

Summary I
How does performance improve biorisk management?

You know that your system works and is
sustainable, and that the risk is acceptable
Three components of performance

Control, assurance, and improvement

Plan, do, check, act

Summary II
The AMP model

Assessment = Plan, Do, Check, Act
Mitigation = Plan, Do, Check, Act
Performance = Plan, Do, Check, Act
Mitigation is improved and sustained when

performance measures are included
