Risk Management: Managing the Risks Successfully

About This Training Program

Overview

(ON DEMAND) Effective management of various types of associated risks is crucial for organizations to achieve overall business outcomes and results. Surprisingly, about 90% of businesses are unaware of their top risks. The business environment is fraught with numerous risks, making it essential for management to be fully informed while making decisions. Understanding all types of risks and learning how to manage them are imperative for the management team.

Risks can manifest at different levels, including Corporate, Strategic, Entity, and Divisional levels, and they may stem from both internal and external sources. These risks permeate all levels of the organization, necessitating awareness and risk management skills among all employees. The primary purpose of risk management is to proactively identify potential issues before they materialize, enabling the planning and implementation of risk-mitigating activities throughout the business's lifespan, be it for a product or project, to minimize adverse impacts on achieving objectives. Since risks are continuously evolving, they require effective monitoring.

To guide the risk management process, managers can follow five essential steps: Step 1 involves identifying the risks, Step 2 entails analyzing them, Step 3 revolves around evaluating or ranking the risks, Step 4 centers on treating the risks, and Step 5 emphasizes monitoring and reviewing the risk. By implementing this program, organizations can bring about significant positive changes and evaluate a multitude of risks within the risk universe.
