Syllabus:
How Enterprise Risk Management, Sustainability and ROI Work Together
Program Overview:
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
is a process, effected by an organization’s board of directors, management and
other personnel, a key part of strategy and applied across the enterprise,
designed to identify potential events that may affect the organization, and
manage risk to be within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the achievement of organization objectives. ERM is a complex area that
challenges organizations and Board of Directors in deciding how to effectively
implement this critical process.
We will discuss how to obtain a
Return On Investment (ROI) for your ERM process, and how sustainability is an
important part of ERM. There are pitfalls to avoid when implementing your ERM
process such as lack of understanding or clarification of the definition of the
risk terms i.e. risk appetite, inherent risk, and residual risk. Also, we will
discuss how to avoid other pitfalls such as not including all stakeholders,
allowing technology to drive the process, failing to clarify roles and
responsibilities, and others.
We will explore a practical
approach to implementing ERM and will learn which risk framework to adopt for
your organization
-
how to develop a common risk
language
-
how to identify key risks and
establish an organization’s risk portfolio
-
how to establish management’s
risk tolerance
-
decide who has responsibility
and authority to address risk or take on risk on behalf of the organization
-
how to assess risk that
influence value and develop risk responses
-
and how to develop risk
monitoring and reporting processes.
This will be a highly
interactive one and a half days with a fun case study where we will practice the
primary elements of ERM, participate in how to exercises, and group projects.
