Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Foundation — A 3-Day Course

Course Description

Management of Risk (M_o_R®) is critical to organisational success. Informed risk-taking helps to improve performance through innovative approaches for managing the business, service delivery and value for money. Following the Turnbull report organisations are now busy working on risk management frameworks and internal control statements to embed risk management in their management processes.

This course is based on OGC's best-practice guide "Management of Risk: Guidance for Practitioners". This guide is intended to help organisations to make informed decisions about risk. It sets out a framework for improving risk management at a strategic, programme, project and operational level and to ensure that key risks are identified, assessed and that action is taken to address them.
