Enterprise Risk Management – Bringing it To Life

 

In this course, David Tattam, Chief Research and Content Officer at Protecht, provides an introduction to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), and the value that it brings to an organisation when it is well designed and put into practice.

ERM is all about managing the full range of enterprise risks in a consistent, common, and integrated way so as you deliver a complete aggregated view of risk across the organisation. The key is moving from a siloed, risk and business area centric view of risk to one that is truly enterprise wide.

This course provides the complete jigsaw puzzle that is ERM, covering in a practical way, the elements that make up a strong ERM capability from Governance, People and Culture, Escalation and Reporting and Continuous Improvement, through to a focus on all of the typical systems and processes that need to be in place. These include Risk Assessment, Risk Metrics, Incident Management, Controls Assurance, Issues and Actions Management and Compliance.

The course will build an ERM ecosystem that sets out the complete picture of practical ERM to enable you to develop a blueprint in order to benchmark your current framework and capabilities and assist you in developing your strategy for your Enterprise Risk Management going into the next decade.

Risk Bow Tie and root cause analysis

 

In this course, David Tattam, Chief Research and Content Officer at Protecht, provides an introduction to the principles of bow tie analysis, leading into hands-on exercises in creating risk bow ties.

Bow tie and root cause analysis are the keys to the effective and proactive management of risk. Prevention is better than cure and prevention comes from managing risk at its source, the root causes. In addition, root cause analysis applied to incident management allows us to understand where things went wrong, to identify the issues and develop actions to remediate.

This course provides you with a detailed working knowledge of the risk bow tie analysis technique and its application in not only root cause analysis but in providing a wider and more intimate knowledge of your risks. Risk bow ties should be at the centre of everything we do in risk management.

The deep analysis of risk using risk bow tie will also be used to develop clear risk taxonomies and ensure risk descriptions are clear and consistent.

Course overview:

In this course, you’ll learn:

1. The case for bow tie analysis – what are its uses?

2. Nature and components of risk and bow tie analysis

3. Various risk analysis techniques
