Course Description

Overview

M_o_R is intended to help organisations put in place an effective framework for risk management. This will help them make informed decisions about the risks that affect their strategic, programme, project and operational objectives.  The guide provides a route map for risk management, bringing together basic concepts, an approach, a process with a set of interrelated process steps, and pointers to more detailed sources of advice on risk management techniques and specialisms. It also provides advice on how the principles, approach and processes should be embedded, reviewed and applied differently depending on the nature of the objectives at risk.

This three day Management of Risk (M_o_R) course is designed to illustrate this best practice framework and give candidates an understanding of risk as it should be managed across an organisation. Within project and programme environments there will always be risk which needs to be identified, analysed and managed. Other areas of an organisation will also be exposed to risks as operational functions are carried out. M_o_R provides guidance on how best to deal with all these areas.
