Risk Management Courses
M_o_R is an acronym of Management of Risk. It provides a generic framework for the management of risk across all activities of an organisation. M_o_R guidance brings together recommended approaches, checklists and pointers to more detailed sources of advice on tools and techniques. M_o_R is aligned with ISO31000, but provides additional detailed guidance on how to embed risk management in an organisation.
M_o_R incorporates all the activities required to identify and control the exposure to any type of risk, positive or negative, which may have an impact on the achievement of your business objectives, in normal business operations as well as in portfolios, programmes and projects.
What is the M_o_R framework?
The M_o_R framework is based on four core concepts, which include:
- an underlying set of principles, informed by corporate governance principles and ISO31000:2009, that guide organisations as they design their internal controls;
- an approach, being the organisational policies, process guide, and strategies for each organisational activity, that explain how the principles have been adapted and adopted to suit each activity; ; and
- a set of processes to identify, assess, plan and implement risk to an activity; and
- which need to be embedded into organisational DNA, and reviewed periodically, to ensure that the approach and processes are consistently applied across the organisation, and continually improved.
