Proposal for Target Risk Appetite
The CoM or the City of Melbourne has been observed to be greatly exploring the way
digital technology can be helping a lot for keeping the city great for working, playing as well
as in the specific century of 21st. The employees of CoM have been provided normally with a
huge autonomy for making various decisions which will be involving the operational as well
as the tactical ones for quickly ascertaining if there is a need for complying or rather lodging
any kind of exception to all the various agencies of government which will be relevant of the
host country. The officers of CoM have been observed to be greatly operating in a number of
various countries and are being equipped normally with a full set of various devices of
mobile communication. This actually involves a very short range of devices of
communication which they will be distributing to some of the workings of local staffs on
certain kinds of projects, a phone, a satellite phone and even a laptop as well. All the various
staffs are greatly responsible for reporting to the specific local office in a periodic basis for
providing all sorts of updates on the specific CDA, various communities, themselves as well
as upon the entire team. Staffs are even allowed to bring all of their various devices of their
own for the main areas of operation for various reasons like they have very long gone in the
memory which is corporate. This may be bringing a number of risks to the CoM. Staffs even
bring in their own phones as well as laptops with the main reason being familiarity to that of
the specific device. CoM has been recognising the importance of offering higher transparency
as well as accountability of its utilisation of various resources which have been offered by
various donors. For expanding the market which is actually targeted towards all the various
potential donors, CoM has been really very much active in a number of various activities of
marketing. By specifically recognising the strength of social media, it has been observed that
CoM has been aggressively pursuing a specific strategy of marketing on the internet. There
are a number of various appeals which have been greatly launched via the specific website. It

is to be remembered that there may be number of risks which may be associated with the
social media implementation of CoM and a number of things are to be kept in mind.
There has been a well-concentrated effort as well for properly targeting all the various
users of sites of social networking. It can be well sufficed that the specific profile of CoM
within the social media has literally incremented in a dramatic way in the last 2 years. It has
been observed that there is a great need for the proper management of the gateways of
payment and the data of the customers which they basically capture via the site of CoM.
Again, it has been noticed that CoM has been running a kind of corporate system which has
been named CoM-ONE. It is basically a system which has been custom made-designed in the
year of 1990. Even though it is a system which is robust, it has been very much tough to
maintain in the last few years. There have been a number of various patches as well as
extensions of CoM-ONE. Such kinds of extensions have not at all been integrated with the
CoM-ONE but possess the capability of feeding as well as drawing information from the
actual database of that of CoM-ONE. For this development of extensions, it has been noticed
that CoM has greatly worked with a number of vendors of software who have offered service
free of cost. Most of these vendors have been actually all start-ups and their main reason
behind offering free service have been the purpose of building credibility. Meanwhile, the
HR team of CoM have taken a decision for not at all waiting for the appropriate functionality
to be offered as a part of CoM-ONE. There is a great need for solving the issue of the CoM-

has been observed to have attended a specific presentation on SaaS in the area of HR and has
been greatly impressed at all the various advantages which can be gained by utilising the
specific platform of HR which will be based upon cloud. The manager of HR has the main
aim upon especially funding from that of CFO and then utilise that fund for purchasing the
