M_o_R® 3rd Edition Foundation & Practitioner

Gain in-depth knowledge of the principles, processes, and tools that form the M_o_R framework. The principles act as core guidelines that ensure risk management aligns with organisational objectives across projects, programmes, and portfolios. The processes follow a cycle – identify, assess, plan, and implement – to help you proactively manage risks by uncovering, evaluating, and developing effective responses to potential threats. Additionally, tools and techniques such as risk checklists, registers, and scenario planning support risk identification, assessment, and prioritisation. Together, these elements provide a robust foundation for risk management that meets business needs and strategic objectives. 

Embedding and reviewing, one of the core concepts in the M_o_R guidance, ensures your business’s risk management principles, approach, and processes are consistently applied and improved. This involves integrating risk practices into your culture, making them a natural part of daily operations and decision-making. Set up regular review mechanisms, such as health checks and maturity models, for assessing effectiveness and identifying improvement areas, encouraging a proactive approach by identifying opportunities for change that help your business adapt to evolving issues faster. While open communication and continuous engagement fosters an environment where risk management is integral to drive resilience and support sustained growth. 

While it's impossible to anticipate every threat, being prepared greatly enhances your response capabilities. This course covers essential risk management concepts, equipping you to identify, assess, and manage risks effectively. Topics include business continuity management, which focuses on maintaining critical functions during disruptions; project and programme risk management, aimed at controlling risks to keep projects on track; and operational risk management, which addresses issues like system failures and supply chain disruptions to ensure service reliability. Through this guidance, you'll gain strategies to protect and sustain your organisation’s operations.
