This course unites risk management tools such as FMEA and the risk matrix with ISO 31000 standards to deliver integrated risk management power.
Clarify risk definitions from dictionaries, ISO 31000, and ASQ, and define risk as uncertainty about outcomes rather than danger.
Clarify roles and responsibilities in risk management using a raci matrix approach to map who does what across disciplines, improving collaboration and risk treatment.
Clarify roles and prevent ambiguity in risk management projects by using the RACI matrix, defining responsible, accountable, consultant, and informed, with one accountable per task.

Evaluate experiences with the Ishikawa tool for risk management, comparing three methods. Defining bones before brainstorming yields structured results, with method two providing the best outcomes.
Explore what risk appetite exactly entails and how it differs from this appetite. Learn how risk appetite relates to risk tolerance.
Large organizations form an enterprise risk management committee to craft a concise risk appetite statement. The example contrasts conservative privacy controls with a high appetite for investments to pursue returns.
Explore how risks appear in trains, banks, and food supply, and how the human mind perceives and processes these risks, guiding risk management decisions.
Make a risk-based decision between taking €20 now or gambling on one of two identical boxes that may contain €50, highlighting uncertainty and payoff trade-offs.
The lecture defines rationality as knowing options, ranking outcomes, and choosing highest expected value, linking loss aversion and risk under uncertainty to prospect theory via a €50/€0 versus €20 gamble.
Showcases how certainty bias makes people choose a sure €20 over a higher expected but uncertain gamble, illustrating the tipping point when uncertainty shifts decisions.
In a risk management game, students weigh a sure €20 against yellow blocks that symbolize uncertainty and probabilities, mirroring decisions like investing in research and development and entering new markets.
Explore how rationality influences risk management by comparing expected value decisions under uncertainty, and use historical and sector data to estimate outcomes.

Explore the origins of FMEA from military roots to NASA missions and automotive and service industries, and learn how failure modes are identified, analyzed, and mitigated.
Identify subtypes of FMEA, including software, machine, and design FMEA, and learn to quantify severity, occurrence, and detection to rank and treat risk across contexts.
Download the FMEA template in Excel that automatically calculates the risk priority number using severity, occurrence, and detectability. Use the Word version for manual calculation.
Explore failure modes in a self serve pizza place using fmea to assess severity, occurrence, and detectability, then compute the rpm and rank risks for treatment.
Apply fmea by moving from listing risks to implementing controls in a group brainstorm. Use rolling oven to reduce occurrence, adjust rpn by changing occurrence while preserving severity and detectability.
Quantify failure impact with the severity score in FMEA, rating 1–10 based on user or operator harm, and reduce bias by averaging scores from multiple experts to guide risk prioritization.
Apply the FMEA severity score from 1 to 10 using context to identify consequences. The lecture contrasts heavy machinery injuries with software risks to justify nine or ten in context.
Reuse the same exam context from the previous section and apply the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) tool. Compare FMEA with the risk matrix to highlight limitations and possibilities.
Define an FMEA for three risks—incompatible hardware, a laptop crash, and cheating during a home exam—assessing severity, occurrence, and detectability, with mitigation actions and RPN comparison.
Apply FMEA to analyze failure modes, such as software incompatibility with hardware, assessing severity, occurrence, and detectability to reduce risk priority number with pre-checks, monitoring, webcam, and screen lock controls.
