What is Risk Management ?
This course starts by exploring the concept of risk and the factors that can constitute risks i.e. legislation affecting business operations in South Africa, health risks and a few others. It looks at organizational policies and procedures as the strategic link between a Company’s Vision and its day-to-day operations and how these could be beneficial in the management of risk. Â
The second section of this course deals with the two main ways of identifying risk, sources of information available to assist with this task and scenarios that can constitute a risk. It then looks at risk assessment, the level of risk, elements of risk analysis and impact analysis. It explores the steps to take when testing and revising a contingency plan as well as recommendations on improvements to contingency plans.
