We live in an ever-changing world and to cope, we all manage risk, often without consciously being aware that we are doing it. This can be true in both our personal lives and in the business environment.

To be successful, we need to accept the reality that risk exists, be realistic, and plan to build the future that we desire, rather than simply hoping that success will occur. We also need to recognize that if we try to avoid risk completely, we will reduce our chances of achieving our goals.

Even though individual perceptions of risk differ, it is possible and prudent to adopt such a practical approach to managing risk within the business environment.

This course provides an accessible framework for taking informed decisions on managing risk throughout the organization. Embedding the Management of Risk (M_o_R®) approach and establishing a risk culture will assist the whole organization in becoming more successful. By encouraging openness and discussing real business issues in a realistic manner, you can help your organization prepare for success, i.e. meet business objectives, improve service delivery and achieve real value for money.

I hope that you are now encouraged to adopt the M_o_R concepts to help prepare your organization for the future, recognizing that some risk is essential if you are to attain your goals.
