Mette: I like the idea and the topic you have chosen. Lean contains many tools, so you could maybe consider if you should focus on only one tool in case of not getting your hands too full. Your article may end up a bit generic, and not as interesting as it could be because it is too broad. So think about tool for risk management and then pick one you can really go into details with.
