M_o_R ® Combined Package
(course code MORC4)

Overview

M_o_R (Management of Risk) provides a generic framework for the management of risk across all parts of an organisation, whether it is at the strategic, programme, project or operational level. The M_o_R guidance brings together recommended approaches, checklists and pointers to more detailed sources of advice on tools and techniques. M_o_R is aligned with ISO31000, and provides detailed guidance on how to embed risk management in an organisation.

This course provides you with the knowledge to apply the principles, practices and techniques of risk management to portfolios, programmes, projects and to business-as-usual operations.

The M_o_R Combined course blends our Foundation course and Practitioner seminar. Each participant is first provided with a solid Foundation in M_o_R concepts, and is then advanced to a Practitioner understanding of how to apply Management of Risk guidance in practice.
