Dean is a Director of 80-20 Options NZ Limited and Emergency Planning Limited, consulting practices that specialise in risk- and emergency management planning. He has held senior management positions in both the private and public sectors and consulted (internally and externally) to organisations in New Zealand and South Africa.

For a number of years (mid-1996 until March 2006), Dean was involved regionally in projects related to the formation and operation of Auckland Civil Defence Emergency Management Group (ACDEMG). As a member of the ACDEMG Co-ordinating Executive Group, he sponsored a number of regional initiatives including the Recovery portfolio and has been involved in a number of exercises at a local, regional and national level that focus on response and recovery.

His interest in and focus on resilience examines the contextual frameworks, processes, systems and competencies required by organisations to meaningfully address resilience gaps.
Dean Myburgh’s Specialties:
The on-line Risk Management Diagnostic Survey (RMDS) based on the Australia/New Zealand Risk Management Standard 4360 (2004); this Standard is currently being assessed for adoption as the International Risk Management Standard (ISO 31000) in 2009.
When adopted, the ISO 31000 is not expected to differ significantly from AS/NZS 4360 and the RMDS will be adapted accordingly to provide a measurement tool against Risk Management best practice.
