Risk management
Rapid growth; mergers; restructures; office moves; rebrands; time sensitive projects; and governance. More and more managers are required to lead on complex and challenging tasks and one of the most important skillsets is the identification, monitoring and management of risk.
Effective risk management is a foundation for managing your business but there is much more to success than multi-coloured risk registers! Whether you are working at a strategic, programme, project or operational level, this one-day course has been designed to share tools and techniques that will help you ensure that risk management processes become embedded in your day-to-day activities and decision-making.
