Overview:
The workshop focus is on enterprise risk management. The workshop is delivered through lectures, class discussions, articles, case studies and exercises. The topics to be covered include: identifying, classifying, assessing and controlling operational risks, planning and implementing risk mitigation strategies for the identified risks.
The workshop will help participants to understand and to develop risk management skills, and to apply what they have learned to real-life ERM projects. Participants will learn how to implement enterprise and programmatic risk management in their organizations. Participants will learn why management is adopting and developing a portfolio view of multiple views of risk-controls within their organizations and into the supply stream. The workshop format is approximately 1/3 lecture, 1/3 exercise and 1/3 ‘lesson learned’ discussion.
