The management of risk is a dynamic and evolving practice. To support this evolution, RMIA has partnered with Associate Professors Ben Brooks and Steve Curnin, to deliver this new and unique course, ‘Implementing ISO31050 - Guidelines for managing an emerging risk to enhance resilience’.
This course provides participants with the insight required to establish a structured and rigorous approach to managing emerging risk, and to re-integrate this analysis into fundamental risk management practices and products such as risk registers and risk appetite statements.
Steve and Ben have packed this course with insights from over decade of research and even more practical experience in supporting organisations to manage emerging risk. They are master facilitators and experienced educators with years of experience in virtual course delivery. They will provide you with insights about the value and science behind these concepts. Steve and Ben personally produced most of the research that this course uses, so they speak intimately to this, and can provide all the insight you need to successfully identify the benefits for your organisation.
During the course you will explore an emerging risk assessment with fellow course participants. The course is fully online over 3-hours and is size-limited to maximize interactions with the teaching team.
The learning outcomes of the course are as follows:
Understand the fundamentals and application of ISO31050:2023
Apply key concepts within the standard to emerging risk
Understand how the outputs of 31050, can be integrated into your current risk management practices.
Establish where your organisation is on the maturity journey with respect to emerging risks and how to take the next step.
You’ll leave with a broad understanding of the scope of the standard and its application within your business.
