Overview to Risk Management (How about a career in Risk?)
Requirements
- No - Just a desire to make your life better through conscious application of risk management
Description
Risk Management is a great career opportunity, and even more so given the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective Risk Managers can help the organization grow and achieve difficult organisational goals. I have trained around hundreds of risk professionals, and my observation is that most of them have excellent risk professionals, but the team size is too small, just 1-2, and that is because they cannot find the right people to hire. There is a huge need for more high-quality professionals who can help organisations to mange the risks that need to be taken, in order to grow.
My ‘Overview to Risk Management’ is an introductory course designed to help students decide if Risk is an area that you may to take up as a career. Running time of this course is 46 minutes, but including exercises, you may take over one hour to complete it (you can take breaks and complete it at your own pace). The course provides an introduction to Risk Management over 7 lectures which cover key topics (what is risk, the need for Risk Management, the ISO 31000 methodology and roadmap, and next steps to start your Risk Management implementation).
My approach in this course is to have the participants answer various exercises with an intention to help them increase their own understanding. For example, I have provided resources which show you over 10 definitions of risk - and even this may not be a complete and comprehensive list! The above answers are provided just to give you a sample of some possibilities. The intention in the exercises is to ensure that those who are attending this this course are encouraged to come up with their own answers - as many as possible.
Once you have completed this exercise, kindly give me your feedback. I hope this course helps you get some new ideas and the commitment to come up with some action steps for you to implement. Best of luck!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants a quick and high level understanding of the value of Risk Management, and also some typical tools and techniques
