M_o_R 4® Practitioner
(course code MORP3)

Overview

Management of Risk (M_o_R) has been designed to help organisations establish an effective framework for risk management across all perspectives in the organisation, which will enable them to make informed decisions about the risks that may affect their strategic, portfolio, programme, project, product, and operational objectives. M_o_R 4 has specific relevance for individuals working in product focussed environments and roles, offering a compelling integrated solution for the unique challenges faced by modern, digital-first organisations. M_o_R has been developed for practitioners who are interested in understanding how risk links to opportunity and the delivery of benefits, and in communicating or cascading this to stakeholders.

This course is based on M_o_R 4, the latest edition of Management of Risk, first released in 2022.
