ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

MRM II is a course designed for graduates of MRM I and others who have had some experience with risk.  This course will augment their RA capabilities by teaching them Risk Factoring, a powerful and very efficient technique for project and operational level risk assessments.  Participants will also learn more about horizontally and vertically integrating their assessments based on an overall Risk Taxonomy and Risk Tolerance Strategies.

In addition to augmenting RA skills, this course is designed to strengthen RM capabilities including the issues of Oversight, Monitoring, and Reporting which come after RA.  Participants will learn simple methods to track progress on risk mitigation and changes in risk levels

MRM II participants will also be able to practice their RA skills after the course – they will be provided copies of the electronic tools used in the course. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Risk Practitioners who would like to help advance the risk maturity of their organization
  
  
• Managers and officers with experience in risk who would like to strengthen their risk assessment and management knowledge and skills
