Training Masterclass: The Risk Essentials

5 back-to-back days of our most popular training courses

Overview

This masterclass is based on the content of our three most popular and practical courses: the fundamentals of risk management (FoRM), embedding risk management ERM) and effective risk registers and assessments (ERRA) and brings them into a tailored masterclass of risk management essentials. You will gain a broad and deep understanding of risk management. The masterclass will be delivered over 5 intensive days.

Day one will focus on our FoRM course, effectively FoRM-Lite. You will be introduced to risk management; what it is, the framework, examining the risk processes and covering the context and vocabulary of risk management.

Days two, three and four will focus on the risk management framework and practical implementation tools. You will deep dive into the key risk management topics including: Objective setting & understanding, Risk Appetite & Culture, Risk Identification & Assessment, Risk responses & resilience to handle change and Risk assurance & communication. Over these three days, you will continuously build and assess your own tailored case study for your organisation (or an organisation based on our case studies if more appropriate).

On Day five you will prepare your case study for presentation and assessment; offering you the chance to have an experienced risk professional critique your case study as well as learn from other delegate's perspectives and organisations.
