Course Introduction

Effective risk management is no longer optional—it’s a strategic necessity for any organization that aims to operate smoothly while maximizing opportunities. Poorly managed risks can lead to operational disruptions, financial losses, or compromised safety. Yet, many organizations still approach risk management reactively, missing chances to prevent issues before they occur.

This Operations Risk Management and Mitigation Training Course focuses on building a proactive approach, equipping participants with practical strategies to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across all operational processes. Through an interactive six-step methodology, attendees will gain expertise in risk planning, identification, analysis, response, and monitoring, all tailored to real-world operations.

This training course is ideal for professionals across industries where operations drive success. Participants will learn to anticipate threats, capitalize on opportunities, and maintain continuity in complex operational environments. It also draws from the latest PMBOK 6th Edition and the international standards ISO 31000:2009 and ISO 31010:2009, ensuring a modern, structured approach to operational risk management.

Key features of this course include:

  • Comprehensive Risk Management Planning and Integration
  • Understanding Operations Context and Risk Boundaries
  • Systematic Risk Identification Techniques
  • Risk Analysis & Evaluation for Informed Decisions
  • Risk Response Planning, Implementation, and Control
  • Hands-on Applied Operations Risk Simulation

Training Objectives

This Operations Risk Management and Mitigation Training Course equips participants to proactively manage operational risks, safeguarding both processes and outcomes. By the end of the course, attendees will have the knowledge and skills to systematically identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the operations lifecycle.

Participants will be able to:

  • Understand the complete Risk Management Process from planning to control
  • Identify risks affecting operational safety, cost, schedule, and quality
  • Apply effective techniques to analyze and mitigate operational risks
  • Develop risk monitoring plans and strategies to maintain operational continuity
  • Implement a structured six-step approach for managing operations risks
  • Calculate risk-related budgets using Expected Monetary Value (EMV) principles

This training provides a practical, actionable framework that ensures participants leave with skills ready to apply immediately in their operational environments.

Training Methodology

The training methodology blends theoretical foundations with practical skill-building exercises, ensuring participants can apply concepts directly in real-world operations. Concepts are explained through interactive lectures, providing clear frameworks for understanding risk management processes.

Hands-on exercises, group discussions, and case studies allow participants to practice risk identification, assessment, and mitigation in a controlled environment. Participants also engage in simulated operational scenarios, enabling them to test and refine their strategies. This combination of structured theory and practical application ensures that attendees not only understand risk management principles but can implement them effectively in their day-to-day operations.
