Training Course Description “Be prepared, luck is where preparation meets opportunity.” Randy Pausch
Corporations have realized that effective risk management can not only reduce the negative impact of crises; it can provide real benefits and cost savings. In this Risk Management course, you will work through the proactive approach to threat and opportunity—based on a clear understanding of the powerful nature of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management.
By applying these tools you will be able to identify, quantify, control and respond to risk in the context of the project life cycle through a risk management plan. This plan will enable you to monitor and control risks throughout the execution of the project by identifying new risks, reassessing existing risks and monitoring risk triggers
The risk management framework provided in this workshop is flexible enough for any organization. You can apply it to a single project, a department, or use it as a basis for an enterprise-wide risk management program.
