Why is risk management so important?

Risk management plays a critical role in ensuring the success of projects, programs and portfolios by pro-actively identifying and addressing potential obstacles. This strategic discipline enables organizations to act not only reactively, but especially pro-actively, such that both internal and external risks are systematically assessed and managed.  

In addition, effective risk management enables organizations to identify opportunities that might otherwise be missed. By finding a balance between risk and risk avoidance, companies can become more innovative and competitive in their sector.  

In essence, risk management ensures that an organization is less vulnerable to unexpected events and better prepared for uncertain future scenarios, which contributes to more stable and predictable business operation. 

What is the role of a risk manager in an organization?

Risk managers play a central role in identifying, evaluating and managing risks within an organization. This professional collaborates closely with project teams and management to inventory potential threats and opportunities that can influence the progress or results of projects and programs. By analyzing and prioritizing risks, risk managers draw up strategies to mitigate threats and capitalize on opportunities. 

In addition, risk managers are responsible for implementing processes and techniques for risk management so that everyone has a clear framework for dealing with risk.  

Why take a risk management training course?

Risk management training provides you with the essential knowledge and skills to identify and assess risk, and also to manage them effectively and substantiate strategic decisions.  

In a training course, you learn proven methodologies and techniques that are vital to developing a solid risk management process at your organization. This allows you not only to identify risk at an early stage, but also to contribute to a culture of proactive risk management. 

By combining this knowledge with practice-oriented tools and techniques such as drawing up risk analyses and developing risk-mitigating measures, you are better able to adopt an advisory role within your team or department. This makes you important in the strategic decision-making process and ensures that you help the organization to achieve its corporate objectives, even in challenging and uncertain market conditions.

Risk management in depth

Within risk management, the Management of Risk (M_o_R®) framework offers a proven method for risk management. The framework was designed especially to support organizations with the effective identification and management of risk. M_o_R® not only helps companies limit threats, but it also encourages the use of opportunities that contribute to strategic objectives. 

M_o_R® focuses on setting up a culture for risk management in which risks are evaluated continuously and integrated into decision-making processes. Risk managers trained in M_o_R® can deploy risk management as a strategic resource, resulting in a resilient organization that can respond rapidly and proficiently to changes.  

Obtaining an M_o_R® Foundation certificate demonstrates capability in this method and strengthens the role of risk management as an essential part of successful operational management. In addition to the M_o_R® Foundation training, including the official exam, one can also opt for the M_o_R® Practitioner training. There are prerequisites for this training course: participants must have obtained the M_o_R® Foundation certificate and must have knowledge and experience in applying risk management.
