Approach and implementation
A method prototype was developed based on a literature study of existing research. The method prototype was then evaluated in relation to more traditional methods for risk analyses in connection with reorganizations in the railway industry. The risk analyses were performed in smaller groups in the form of Task Analyses. The result showed that the method prototype could be used effectively in connection with risk analyses.
