Risk-based thinking sits at the centre of every modern management system, but it is often treated as a form to be filled rather than a way of working. This course is about the second: applying appropriate risk management and risk-based thinking across your organisation so that problems are prevented rather than explained afterwards.
The programme builds the competence and the skills needed to manage uncertainty. Participants learn to recognise the threats and risks facing an organisation, to implement risk-based thinking into internal operations, and to build proactive systems that identify and plan for contingencies before they arrive. It draws on the concepts, principles and processes of ISO 31000.
