Management of Risk (M_o_R®)
is a guide and qualification, launched by the Office of Government
Commerce (OGC) in response to many government and private sector
initiatives to improve organisation wide risk
management.
There are two levels of
qualification available – the foundation and practitioner
certificates.
Whether delegates are new to
Risk Management or just need to understand the M_o_R approach, this
course is appropriate and will provide a thorough preparation for
the examinations.
DESIGNED FOR
There are no specific
pre-requisites for attending the course or taking the
examinations. It is appropriate for managers of any
discipline involved at all levels, but attendees should have an
understanding of how their business operates.
Delegates are sent a copy of
the M_o_R manual prior to the course, pre-reading will dramatically
increase the chance of success in the examination.
The Practitioner exam can
only be taken when a candidate has passed the foundation
exam.
THE
BENEFITS
The course will benefit all
managers who have some responsibility for the effective management
of risk within their organisation.
It is particularly aimed
at:
- Risk managers who may be
responsible for establishing organisation-wide processes and
procedures for risk management, perhaps in response to the
requirements of the Combined Code on Corporate
Governance
- Programme managers who need
to develop structured approaches to management of risk on major
change programmes
- Project managers wishing to
manage project risk more effectively
- Operations managers
responsible for day-to-day business as usual who wish to reduce

- Consultants wishing to
understand the latest OGC guidance and gain the new qualifications
in order to successfully apply the method for their
clients
