About the Program
Risk management can become very complicated - so complicated it is easy to get lost in the details. This tools session is an attempt to clear away the confusion and discuss the fundamental elements common to all risk management activities, from the boardroom to the back room. They are: Objectives; Plans; Threats; Mitigations; Contingencies; and, Management.
The presentation includes brief definitions of common risk management terms. It also touches on risk management for positive outcomes: Opportunities; Promotions; and, Exploitations. A running example throughout the presentation helps cement the concepts.
