Overview
This course is available on SPOCE's open public schedule, or can be held at your premises.
Officially launched in 2002, the Management of Risk Guide (M_o_R®) guide is intended to help organisations put in place an effective framework for risk management, helping decision making based on risks that affect strategic, programme, project and operational objectives.
Who is the course designed for?
Any organisation or individual seeing the need for guidance on a controlled approach to identifying, analysing and managing risk at strategic, programme, project and operational levels.
We offer a range of courses suitable for Project & Programme Managers, Risk Managers, Project Support and Assurance. Managers from other disciplines will also benefit, particularly those responsible for establishing standards and integration with MSP® and PRINCE2®.
What are the course objectives?
The key objectives of this course are:
- Provide Delegates with an understanding of the benefits and principles underlying a structured approach to the assessment and management of risks.
- Apply the principles of M_o_R® within a work environment.
- Communicate effectively with colleagues and managers within a structured risk environment.
- Enable delegates to understand the M_o_R® method at the Foundation and the Practitioner levels.
What is the course approach?
The course is a mixture of input and practical sessions, delivered by an APM Group approved trainer with practical experience of programme, project and risk management.
The pre-course material includes SPOCE's highly acclaimed event preparation CD and the M_o_R® Manual. Delegates should spend approximately 10 hours studying this pre-course material in order to be well prepared for the course.
