Risk Management

The management of risk is a vital for the successful delivery of Strategic Objectives.  In this course we will consider key aspects of risk management, the implementation of the Orange Book guidelines, with tips and examples for how organisations can take risk management to the next level.

All non-profit organisations operate in a changing environment, facing risks on a day to day basis.  The difference between good management of risk and poor management of risk can fundamentally affect the ability of the organisation to deliver its key objectives. Indeed, there are recent well-publicised examples where poor management or risk has directly affected the ability of that organisation to survive.

This course explores how risk can be effectively managed to deliver better outcomes.  We will enhance participants understanding of what risk management is, consider the differences and overlaps between performance management and risk management and offer participants tools and techniques to improve risk management in their own organisation.

Risk Management is a one day face to face training course from our Financial Management & Commercial Skills series. At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participants gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
