I do intend to do interviews at Management level within my company, but was interested in the views of the community as a whole so I can get a general feel for it cross industry.
Many thanks on the reference, I have put feelers out to see if anyone has a copy of it (I am Scottish ... If I can avoid the 15 quid charge then I will ! means more beer for me)
So I would be very interested in any response to the questions, although if people have to pick one to answer then my preference would be
"What are the barriers towards implementing programme risk management"
Many thanks !

If you want real-life examples you need to contact companies directly to interview managers within the company (qualitative), or you could create a questionnaire as a method of obtaining detailed quantitive data.
Also, the following paper would be worth looking at.
Title: Risk management in a multi-project environment: An approach to manage portfolio risks

Neil,
If you want answers to specific questions, then speak to PP admin and get them to add your questions on the vote section of the website!

Hi Neil
You want to know about this topic for your thesis.
"I am doing it on Programme (Multi project) risk management within the oil and gas services industry."
I have a feeling that you will be researching an as yet unexplored field of expertise - but that is what a true thesis should be.
If anybody in the target industry knows anything about the subject they will certainly keep it to themselves.
If it is not to late I advise chosing a simpler topic - such as "Who Owns the Float in a Delay Situation."
That has kept PP occupied for years.
Best regards
