What you'll learn
The M_o_R 3rd Edition Foundation course will give you a strong grounding in risk management, helping you develop the skills and knowledge to apply the M_o_R framework confidently and effectively when implementing change initiatives or managing projects, programmes and portfolios.
Principles
Gain in-depth knowledge of the framework’s principles – core guidelines for how a risk management approach should be developed. They ensure that risk management is applied consistently and aligned with organisational objectives across projects, programmes, and portfolios. There are four of them, including ‘aligns with objectives’, which focuses on aligning risk activities with the business’s strategic goals and priorities for long-term success; and ‘engage stakeholders’, which promotes clear communication and active engagement with stakeholders, highlighting the importance of collaboration and transparency.
Processes
Learn about the four processes in M_o_R 3rd Edition that help you foster proactive and adaptive risk management. They work in a cycle and ensure that risks are identified, assessed and controlled. Starting with ‘identify’, this stage is about uncovering potential threats that could impact achieving business objectives. Followed by ‘assess’, which helps you determine the likelihood of the identified risks and what the consequences could be. Next is ‘plan’, where you plan responses to these risks, and finally ‘implement’ which is how you would implement your responses.
Tools and techniques
This course will teach you about a number of tools and techniques that support the identification, assessment, and management of risks across various organisational contexts, including risk checklists, risk registers, SWOT, PESTLE, and scenario planning. This ensures you are well equipped to implement the framework effectively and be able to assess, prioritise, and respond to risks in alignment with strategic objectives and your business’s needs.
