Operations, Risk Management and Mitigation

The key to any successful operation lies in the effective management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimise threats and optimise results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this Operations Risk Management and Mitigation training course, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach applies a proven six-step methodology of risk planning through to identification, analysis and control.

This training course is designed to help operations teams and businesses accurately and efficiently identify, quantify, and mitigate risks that threaten to disrupt, or derail, their operations. The training course content is applicable to all industry sectors where operations form the cornerstone of their business and are of a value and nature that necessitate formal risk management.
