Course Introduction

As you are aware in the first instance it was a failure in operational risk management, poor investment decisions that led to the global financial crisis. Poor understanding of organisational risk appetite was the principle cause for this global disaster. To ensure that this does not occur again organisations need to lift their capacity to identify, measure and mitigate their operational risk exposures.

Of all the disciplines related to the financial management of a business, there is none as closely related to success in times of recession as risk management. In ongoing operations, for new investment decisions and even for the simplest of decisions, risk management should be at the forefront of the prudent manager’s mind right now.

This course will equip you with the skills to cope in the new and hardened world of professional risk management. It focuses on the practical tools and techniques that you can use to take your operational risk management infrastructure to the next level of sophistication.

During the four-day course you will engage with and develop an understanding of some of the critical issues confronting the operational risk professional in the contemporary organisation. You will have the opportunity for issue analysis and networking with some of the region’s most qualified risk operatives, as you engage with the challenges of the programme.
