Systemic Risk Management (CPD) (Online)

 

The systemic risk management course was a fascinating course – bringing together the well-established risk management principles and introducing new ideas and frameworks.  I recommend this course for those who want to have a big picture view of risk management across a whole system.

Introduction

This fully online six week programme will give you an overview of how to develop Systemic Risk Management in organisations such as healthcare, transport, aviation, finance, pharmaceutical, defence forces, emergency services and more. It will use real business examples to demonstrate practical methods to analyse and manage sources of risk, enabling a proactive, effective, and strategic capability.

This approach both enhances the individual practitioner’s capability and benefits their organisation. Participants will be able to take the skills and knowledge gained on the programme to start identifying and making changes in their own workplace.

Programme Aims

Organisations want to be able to manage the risks that they face in a manner that is coherent, comprehensive, and effective. Excellence in operational risk management means going beyond regulatory compliance and reacting to specific incidents or events; it implies being able to muster the evidence to support the transformation of system performance to meet strategic goals in a proactive way.

This involves meeting a range of challenges:

  • Harnessing data to generate evidence
  • Generating system understanding
  • Building joined-up governance
  • Developing the capability to change
  • Developing networks of support, learning and the exchange of knowledge.     

Learning Objectives

The programme is supported by case studies and state of the art research across various industry sectors.

At the end of this programme you will be able to:

  • Develop a systems understanding of operations and risk , particular in relation to complex operational problems.
  • Understand monitoring and measurement in safety management, safety assurance and managing safety performance.
  • Recognise the role of data and data analytics in generating evidence.
  • Understand and support processes of improvement and change.
  • Develop a joined-up strategic risk management capability.

Who is The Programme For?

The programme will be of interest to those who have experience of managing safety, risk, change, or are responsible for operational performance, in any industry or service that carries operational risk, and who want to explore how to move to a new level of Systemic Risk Management.

Note: the programme is not industry specific and the learning can be applied to a wide range of industries that have common issues to do with managing innovation and change in an operational environment. This includes aviation, rail, maritime, finance, emergency services, defence forces, healthcare, software development, manufacturing (incl. pharmaceuticals), public utilities, and environmental management.
