Course Overview
This advanced training program equips risk professionals with both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to assess, analyze, and mitigate risks across industries. Participants will master statistical modeling, risk scoring systems, scenario analysis, and decision-making frameworks aligned with ISO 31000 and COSO ERM standards. The course blends data-driven risk analytics with behavioral risk assessment techniques through case studies, software tools (e.g., @RISK, Palisade), and interactive workshops.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
✔ Apply ISO 31000 risk management principles in organizational contexts
✔ Conduct qualitative risk assessments using FMEA, Bow-Tie, and risk matrices
✔ Perform quantitative risk analysis with Monte Carlo simulations and probabilistic modeling
✔ Develop risk appetite statements and key risk indicators (KRIs)
✔ Design risk dashboards for executive decision-making
✔ Integrate emerging risks (cybersecurity, climate, geopolitical) into assessment frameworks
