M_o_R® Foundation & Practitioner classroom

It is now becoming increasingly evident that to support and complement both of these approaches, organisations require a professional, well-structured approach to the Management of Risk (M_o_R). Awareness of how risk is managed is essential when making informed decisions with regard to change initiatives that will improve your organisations performance. Effective management of risk is absolutely critical to organisational success at all levels.

There is some pre-course reading and activities to complete which will be sent prior to the event. During the event there will be some examination preparation evening work to complete. 

Foundation

• M_o_R principles and processes
• M_o_R tools and techniques
• Corporate governance
• Risk process lifecycle
• Risk management framework
• Business continuity
• Safety and security
• Creating the culture

• Measurement, control and reporting 

Practitioner

This is a five-day course leading to both the M_o_R Foundation examination on the Wednesday afternoon and the Practitioner examination on the Friday afternoon.

The course will be of benefit to all levels of management including:

• Corporate managers – responsible for corporate governance and the organisation’s overall exposure to risk
• Programme managers – responsible for risk relating to specific programmes
• Project managers – responsible for managing risk in projects
• Operational managers – responsible for risks that affect the on-going continuity of business services
• All other personnel who have an interest or responsibility for the management of risk within their organisation

No prior knowledge is necessary but an awareness of programme and/or project management would be an advantage. In order to sit the Practitioner exam you must have passed the Foundation exam.

This is an intensive five-day course that includes the following:
