Overview
Course duration: 1 day.
The consequence of poor risk management in a business cannot be over stated. We only have to look at what has happened to some organisations recently. Certainly awareness of risk has increased as we currently live in an unstable economic and political environment.
The purpose of this risk management one-day workshop is to provide managers with a solid understanding of business risk management and how to manage them.
Is it right for me?
The workshop is likely to be particularly relevant to people responsible for areas such as business processes, operational, project and programme risk.
Senior project and programme managers will also benefit from this event.
Delegates with practical experience of managing major change or using programmes/projects approaches will derive the greatest benefit from this course.
